There is a makerspace for foreign entrepreneurs on the first floor of the office building in Beijing Haidian Pioneer Park. The makerspace is home to the start-ups founded by foreigners.  

"We can use the office area for free for two years, which can save us 200,000 yuan per year. At least one entrepreneurial sharing session is held every two weeks, during which experts in different fields are invited to interpret policies and laws, and analyze the market, helping us spot opportunities and difficulties. There are also meetings with investors. After attending it twice, I have learned how to better introduce my project," said Suo Yi, an entrepreneur from Greece.

So far, the makerspace for foreign entrepreneurs has attracted 40 outstanding entrepreneurship projects initiated by international talents from more than 20 countries and regions in the world such as France, South Korea, Pakistan and the United States, which has brought in such foreign resources as talents and technologies, and promoted international exchanges.
