MFSZ25 Factory Hi Tour: Connecting Innovators with the Power of Manufacturing, Sign Up Now!

When it comes to hardware innovation, China’s Greater Bay Area is unlike anywhere else in the world. It’s a powerhouse where the most vibrant hardware ecosystem meets the most complete manufacturing network on the planet.

Yet even here, innovators face a familiar challenge — the “last mile” between creative ideas and industrial execution. Turning a great concept into a market-ready product takes more than just a manufacturing partner. It requires a true connector — one who understands both the language of innovation and the logic of industry.

Over the past decade, Shenzhen has evolved from being the “factory of the world” into a true innovation hub. With flexible production lines, digitalized workshops, and industrial IoT platforms, the city is painting a vivid picture of what the future of intelligent manufacturing looks like.

On Monday, November 17, 2025, Seeed Studio — the global hardware innovation platform — will host the annual Hi Tour: Shenzhen Manufacturing Factory Visit.

This isn’t just a factory visit; it’s a deep dive into the heart of China’s manufacturing ecosystem, where you’ll experience firsthand how we help innovators bridge the gap between inspiration and production — and turn great ideas into real, tangible products.

Here’s the journey you’ll take:

• At Seeed’s Agile Manufacturing Center, you’ll witness how ideas are engineered, prototyped, and brought to life — bridging that vital gap from 0 to 1.
• At our strategic partner factories, you’ll see how validated designs scale efficiently through automation — achieving high-quality replication from 1 to 1000.
• At a motor factory, you’ll discover how micro-level transmission and servo technologies form the beating heart of intelligent motion — powering the next generation of smart robots.

This year, we’re introducing a special Hardware Entrepreneurs Session — a dedicated session designed for founders, makers, and innovators who want to experience the manufacturing journey up close.

Beyond organizing Maker Faire Shenzhen and operating the Chaihuo Makerspace, we’ve spent years diving deep into the manufacturing world itself.

At the heart of that effort is Seeed Fusion — our one-stop agile manufacturing service designed to be the bridge between innovation and production.

Through Fusion, global creators can tap into the Greater Bay Area’s unmatched manufacturing ecosystem — quickly, reliably, and with confidence.Join us on this journey.
