- WE HELP STARTUPS, ENTREPRENEURS & CORPORATE INNOVATORS BUILD THE NEXT BIG THING
We believe that in China today, successful innovation is a direct result of agility, speed and collaboration. Through continuous iteration, lean methodologies and by truly opening up – innovation can be brought to market much quicker.
We empower innovators by building connections between startups, government, corporates and academia.
Startups are always looking for ways to scale through corporate assets, customers, channels and their brand. Corporates, on the other hand, are eager to innovate quicker with more impact.
XNode exists to bridge this gap. Bringing together the best of both worlds. Empowering innovators to create new innovations at lightning speed.
