Lift has organised the first Lift China in Shanghai in partnership with swissnex China. Lift China was the place for makers, artists, startups and pioneers alike to meet and make fruitful connections with our international community.
In 2014, we are looking east again, to the fantastic rise of the Shenzhen economy and the growing innovative power of Shanghai. From “made in China” to “made with China”, engineers, entrepreneurs and designers are creating a new marketplace where western startups and eastern manufacturers join forces to reinvent our technological daily life.
