Introduction

The transformation of Asia demonstrated in its demographic transition, social progress, economic development, and technological innovation has been phenomenal.

About the Book

Dragon Innovation: Shenzhen is one of the first comprehensive analyses on the formation of China’s technology hub, Shenzhen and the Greater Bay Area, in a multidimensional and multicultural society in the 21st century amid global trade war and great power competition.

It examines how and why Shenzhen and the Greater Bay Area emerged as Asia’s leading technology cluster from historical, cultural, political, institutional, business and social perspectives to present an innovation experience that differs from the widely known western innovation hubs.
