“Wer ein neues Gerät oder ein digitales Gadget, ein besonderes Design im Sinn hat, dem stellt „Seeed“ die Ausrüstung be- reit, um einen Prototypen zu bauen. Wenn er weiter vorankommt, vermittelt ihn das Start-up an einen Betrieb, der eine Klein- serie herstellen kann, wenn die erfolgreich ist, an eine Fabrik, die das Gerät in Massen produziert. ”

—— DER SPIEGEL

“Seeed（深圳矽递科技有限公司）は、プリント基板や電子パーツを顧客の依頼に応じて小規模から生産している。この企業のユニークなところは、自社製品のデータを外部に公開する、いわゆるオープンソース化を進めていることだ。オリジナルの技術を特許などで保護せず、自由にコピー・改良することを認めることでイノベーションを進めていこう、という先進的な考えを反映している。 ”
