About us

Shenzhen is one of the most concentrated manufacturing ecosystems in the world. Engineering talent, suppliers, factories, and execution teams operate in close proximity, forming a tightly integrated supply chain that enables rapid iteration, cost-effective execution, and production at scale.

For global hardware teams, entrepreneurs, and newcomers, the ecosystem can be powerful and difficult to navigate.

Here in Shenzhen is built as a practical reference for understanding and using this environment effectively.

It documents how the manufacturing ecosystem works, how markets and supplier clusters operate on the ground, and which products, services, and local brands are worth paying attention to. Recommendations are shaped by direct experience, structured research, and daily life inside Shenzhen.

Robin Luo

Founder and Editor

I’ve built and operated multiple businesses in China and now work closely within Shenzhen’s cross-border and manufacturing ecosystem, observing how products move from idea to production across the Greater Bay Area.

Through founder interviews, field notes, factory visits, and ongoing conversations with engineers, suppliers, and execution teams, I’ve been documenting how business in Shenzhen actually works, how factories run, how products evolve through iteration, and how decisions get made on the ground.

RobinConnect focuses on deeper founder stories and business insights from this environment.

Here in Shenzhen focuses on the practical layer, navigating the city, its markets, its services, and its manufacturing infrastructure with clarity.
