As we introduce Innovation Ambassadors, many friends have told us that Maker Faire Shenzhen 2025 is one of the most exciting events eagerly looking forward to!
Although organizing has kept us busy—sometimes even giving us a few headaches over the details—our goal remains simple: to create a space where makers can truly recognize their value in the field of AI hardware. It has been a lot of hard work, but honestly, this is also the event we’re most excited about!
Yesterday, as the organizing team gathered to discuss, one question kept coming up: whether we persist the original spirit of making? what is the definition of Maker Faire Shenzhen for makers?
- It’s a stage to proudly showcase innovative hardware projects.
- It’s a community gathering where like-minded creators connect and grow together.
- It’s a “tech gala” to explore the latest trends in AI hardware.
But above all, we think Maker Faire Shenzhen is the ultimate stage of evolution for makers worldwide. Here, global creators gather to share excitement for pushing forward in hardware innovation, and spark collisions of ideas and spirit. More importantly, it’s also a place that empowers makers to evolve — not only in personal growth, but also in creating technological value that advances the world.
We believe Innovation Ambassadors are the best partners on the journey, since they will share their practical experience and the latest technical knowledge. There is no doublt that with their massive online influence, reaching hundreds of thousands (even millions), these Innovation Ambassadors can help your projects gain global visibility and make real impact all over the world.
Thus, let’s intoduce another five Innovation Ambassadors – maybe there are some familar faces!

Channnel for professional audiences
Over the past 12 years, the development trajectory of Maker Faire Shenzhen can be seen as a microcosm of the development of maker culture in China.
- 2012: “Gathering Small Wisdom, Journeying through the Great Future” – This was the first Mini Maker Faire in China, with less than 1000 attendees, and was more like a gathering within a small circle. But we saw the infinite possibilities emerging from the maker community.
- 2013: The slogan was absent, and the maker community was still small. – In the OCT Creative Park, there were cross-disciplinary exchanges among different creative communities, silently laying the foundation for cultural output.
- 2014: “Innovate with China” – the event was upgraded to the Featured level for the first time, with a significant increase in scale compared to previous years, and the beginning of professional independent forums. This year, makers began to enter the public’s view.
- 2015: “Everyone is a Maker, what are you waiting for?” – This year’s Shenzhen International Maker Week became one of the largest Maker Faires in the world. This year, the concept of “maker” was elevated to a national level, and the trend of “mass innovation, mass entrepreneurship” swept across the country.
- 2016: “My World, My Creation” – As the sub-venue of the National Innovation and Entrepreneurship Week, the event was held for the first time in the commercial center area, experiencing unpredictable weather from typhoons to scorching heat. Many makers succeeded in your entrepreneurial endeavors this year, but it seemed like there were even more failures. The hype around entrepreneurship shifted towards rationality.
- 2017: “Makers, Go Pro” – The event took place at the university campus for the first time, focusing on Maker Pros and providing a platform for diverse innovators and makers to showcase themselves, presenting more possibilities for the growth path of makers to the entire community.
- 2018: “Co-making in the City” – The main venue of Shenzhen International Maker Week, where individuals and groups with shared visions and values gathered to showcase stories, projects, and explorations of collaboration among different communities and people.
- 2019: ” To the Heart of Community, To the Cluster of Industry” – The event was upgraded to the Maker Faire Shenzhen, attempting to attract professional audiences and focusing on pragmatic aspects such as solving the needs of industrial upgrading and co-developin. It aims to build a platform for innovation and industry dialogue and collaboration.
- 2023: “Where Are The Makers?”– Starting from our own mission and values, we aim to explore the future direction of makers and theapossibilities for commercialization. Though this question does not have a definitive answer, we do hope that through this event, we can communicate and share with every one of you, finding more ideas and directions together.
- 2024: “Everything is AI” – This year, we brought together over 120 exhibitors from around the world, attracting nearly 1,500 professional attendees from nearly 20 countries and over 20 provinces across China. The exhibition showcased a wide range of AI application projects and hosted 10 AI hardware-themed satellite events, alongside various workshops.
