What is ShanHaiWoo?

ShanHaiWoo is a month-long frontier tech co-creation program.

This fall, builders, founders, researchers, and industry leaders from around the world will come together across Shenzhen, Mumbai, and Hong Kong — to build new products, explore new technologies, and find people they can work with.

This year, the focus is on AI, Physical AI, smart hardware, and privacy.

Shenzhen sits at the center of it all — where software meets hardware, prototypes meet manufacturing, and ideas can move quickly into the real world.

ShanHaiWoo creates the time, space, and connections to make that happen.

Come with something you want to build, a problem you want to solve, or a direction you want to explore.

It’s not just a place to talk about what’s next.

It’s a place to make it real.

What It Feels Like

You’ll land in Shenzhen this October, not just to work—but to find your rhythm, your collaborators, and your reason to build again.

Live & Build

You’ll stay where you choose (we’ll offer hotel discounts), but we’ll spend our days together—sharing workspaces, daily check-ins, and collaborative activities. From icebreakers to team-matching, everything is designed to help you connect, build, and grow alongside others.

Live & Build

Sprint

Learn

Grow

Live & Build

Sprint

The month unfolds in four clear arcs—from alignment to iteration, from feedback to final demo. You’ll have room to go deep, with people around you doing the same.

Learn

You’ll hear from people who’ve been through it—founders, engineers, protocol designers—sharing what they wish they knew earlier.

Much of what happens will be recorded and shared openly, so others can grow too. This isn’t just for us—it’s for the builders who can’t be here yet.

Grow

If you come alone, you won’t stay that way for long. We’ll help you meet the right collaborators, and point you toward whatever comes next—grants, community, maybe even capital.

This is space held for deep focus, honest conversations, and shared ambition.
You’ll leave with something real—and with people you’ll want to keep building with.

One Season. Three Stages.

Three cities. A global builder community.

Oct 15 - 31

Shenzhen

Core Program

The core of ShanHaiWoo 2026, bringing together product development, Shenzhen’s manufacturing ecosystem, industry connections, and public programs.

Nov 1 - 6

Mumbai

Global Extension

Some projects and community members continue to Mumbai to demo, meet new users and partners, and explore pilots and collaborations.

Nov 7 - 10

Hong Kong

Finale

A final showcase and community gathering to share what was built, what changed, and what comes next.

Why This Matters

We believe the next generation of meaningful applications won’t emerge from theory alone.

They’ll come from intentional spaces where people can experiment, collaborate, and build with depth.

ShanHaiWoo is our way of creating that space—backed by ecosystem partners, but driven by builders like you.
