Shenzhen é uma cidade em nível de prefeitura em Guangdong, China. Uma zona econômica especial, ela está localizada na margem leste do estuário do Rio das Pérolas na costa central de Guangdong, fazendo fronteira com Hong Kong ao sul, Dongguan ao norte, Huizhou a nordeste e Macau a sudoeste. Com uma população de 18,2 milhões em 2025, Shenzhen é a terceira cidade mais populosa por população urbana na China depois de Xangai e Pequim. O Porto de Shenzhen é o quarto porto de contêineres mais movimentado do mundo. Shenzhen se estabeleceu como uma metrópole global de primeira linha com PIB que superou Hong Kong e Singapura nos últimos anos.
“The southern city where China’s economic transformation began more than four decades ago, and which has seen its hi-tech industry become the bellwether for growth, is vowing to double down on efforts to shore up the sector as the nation strives to move up the industrial chain and counteract US-led tech restrictions.”
“Shenzhen, with fewer than 30,000 inhabitants scattered in a number of small village clusters, made history as China’s first “special economic zone”, where foreign direct investments and private enterprises were allowed. The impact was immediate, and profound.”
“After being established as China’s first economic zone in 1980, Shenzhen quickly developed from a sleepy small border town into a large modern city, quite impressive in the history of industrialization, modernizing, and urbanization.”
“Shenzhen is being aggressively pushed forward as China’s model for its future, in sharp contrast perhaps to Hong Kong — a future that will include a central focus on emerging technology standards such as the digital yuan being piloted in Shenzhen now.”
“Being a key hub in the global electronic information technology industry, Shenzhen in recent years has taken the construction of a smart city as an important driving force to promote industrial transformation and upgrading, improving city management and giving full play to new technology.”
“Over the past 40 years, Shenzhen has been transformed from a small fishing village into an international city full of charm, vitality, innovation and creativity. However, there are still gaps in the levels of innovation, science and technology education and public service between Shenzhen and innovative cities with global influence.”
