ACCORDING to one of the main targets for 2023 listed in the government work report, emphasis will be placed on key industrial chains in the manufacturing sectors to accelerate the modernization of China’s industrial system while achieving breakthroughs in core technologies in key fields.

今年的政府工作報告中，指出要“加快建設現(xiàn)代化產業(yè)體系，圍繞制造業(yè)重點產業(yè)鏈，集中優(yōu)質資源合力推進關鍵核心技術攻關”。

Masakazu Takasu, who is a Japanese hardware engineer, a world-renowned maker and an associate researcher from Japan’s Waseda University, has similar ambitions. Lured by Shenzhen’s hardware supply chain and innovation ecosystem, Takasu relocated to the city in 2018 to help Switch Science, a Japan-based open-source hardware developing company, tap into the local market and seek for more cooperation opportunities with local startup and maker communities. He also wished to promote Shenzhen to the world as a “city that make makers’ dream come true.”

日本全球知名創(chuàng)客高須正和的抱負與此不謀而合。身為硬件工程師及日本早稻田大學客座教授的高須一直被深圳的硬件產業(yè)供應鏈和創(chuàng)新生態(tài)圈深深吸引，并于2018年來到深圳，為他所任職的日本知名開源硬件企業(yè)Switch Science拓寬中國市場，尋求與本地初創(chuàng)企業(yè)及創(chuàng)客社群的合作機遇。在深圳住上了幾年后，他還逐漸孕育出一個小夢想——即把這座“實現(xiàn)創(chuàng)客夢想”的城市推介給全世界。

“Shenzhen is a hub for the world hardware manufacturing industry,” Takasu said during an interview with Shenzhen Daily on the sidelines of an international innovation policy and practice exchange conference this Monday.  “Shenzhen’s supply chain is very flexible, making products cheaper and ideas realized faster — especially for small companies and individual entrepreneurs with creative minds.”

3月6日，高須受邀來到深圳五洲賓館舉辦的國際創(chuàng)新政策與實踐交流會發(fā)表演講并接受英文《深圳日報》專訪。他說：“深圳是世界硬件制造業(yè)的中心，有著靈活的硬件產業(yè)供應鏈，既有低廉的制造成本，又具備創(chuàng)意快速落地的條件，是一個非常適合小型初創(chuàng)企業(yè)和獨立創(chuàng)業(yè)者打拼的地方。”

Takasu stated in his speech at the conference that Shenzhen has managed to grow from a traditional hardware manufacturing hub to an innovative city that is able to produce original products at low prices.

在交流會的主旨演講上，高須也進一步闡釋了他的觀點，指出深圳已由傳統(tǒng)的硬件制造業(yè)中心轉型為能夠生產獨創(chuàng)產品的創(chuàng)新城市。

“Thanks to the local supply chain, ordinary people like me can also have easy access to the achievements of the latest technologies,” he said, citing one of his own innovative practices in Shenzhen as an example.

“深圳的硬件產業(yè)供應鏈把創(chuàng)新成果送進了尋常百姓家。”高須說道，并回憶起了他以前在華強北拆解耳機研究芯片的經歷。

“I found a company in Huaqiangbei to disassemble a pair of earphones and got its chips at a very low price,” recalled Takasu.”By using such chips, it is possible to produce independently developed 4-volt motors, and these 4-volt motors can be used to produce robotic arms. The chip triggers innovations in the motor, and the motor triggers innovations in the robotic arm.”

“我以十分低廉的價格，在一家華強北公司拆解了一部耳機，并獲得了其中的芯片。使用這樣的芯片就可以制作自主研發(fā)的四伏電機，而這個四伏電機又可以制作自主研發(fā)的機械臂，芯片引發(fā)了電機的創(chuàng)新，電機引發(fā)了機械臂的創(chuàng)新。”高須回憶道。

The production of the above-mentioned four-volt motors, robotic arms and other innovative hardware products belongs to the advanced manufacturing industry, which is considered the major focus of Shenzhen’s 20 emerging industry clusters; this is according to an opinion on developing strategic emerging industry clusters and cultivating future industries that was released by the city’s municipal government last June. In response to the government work report, Shenzhen will remain steadfast in fostering and developing emerging and future industries while implementing actions to improve industry quality, enhance platform efficiency and accelerate project progress.

高須提到的四伏電機、機械臂等先進硬件設備屬于先進制造業(yè)。去年6月，深圳出臺《關于發(fā)展壯大戰(zhàn)略性新興產業(yè)集群和培育發(fā)展未來產業(yè)的意見》，對“以先進制造業(yè)為主體的20個戰(zhàn)略性新興產業(yè)集群”的建設進行部署。同時，順應政府工作報告的要求，深圳也將把大力發(fā)展“20+8”戰(zhàn)略性新興產業(yè)集群和未來產業(yè)，實施產業(yè)質量提升、平臺提效、項目提速等舉措作為其高質量發(fā)展的機遇與使命。

Takasu, who is also an active advocate for maker culture, has been dedicated to introducing Shenzhen’s supply and industrial chain as well as its innovative ecosystem to the world. In addition to carrying out research and giving lectures on the city’s innovations at Waseda University, he also published a book in Japanese in August 2020, elaborating on Shenzhen’s innovation practices and the local development potential for newly-emerging hardware manufacturing industries.

既身為全球知名創(chuàng)客、也長久致力于弘揚創(chuàng)客文化的高須也在堅持向世界推介深圳的產業(yè)供應鏈和創(chuàng)新生態(tài)。據(jù)悉，高須在早稻田大學授課時便向學生介紹過深圳的創(chuàng)新環(huán)境，并于2020年8月出版了一本書，對這座城市的創(chuàng)新氛圍和新興的先進硬件制造業(yè)加以闡述。

Takasu also looks forward to participating in more local Maker Faires in the future. “Many hardware innovators come to Shenzhen from across the world for the Maker Faires,” he said. “They communicate with each other and make products together at the fairs, while the Maker Faires support them in turning their ideas into existence.”

疫情放開后，高須最期待的就是繼續(xù)在深圳參加各種各樣的創(chuàng)客嘉年華?！吧钲诘膭?chuàng)客嘉年華匯聚了來自世界各地的硬件創(chuàng)新企業(yè)家。他們在嘉年華上交流點子，動手實踐，而嘉年華則幫助他們實現(xiàn)、落地自己的夢想。”高須說道。
