From Taiwan to Shenzhen: Entrepreneur Bridges Cultures & Careers

Zhou Boyan traded corporate life for a creative venture in Shenzhen, blending the vibrant energy of his roots in the Taiwan region with the mainland's booming market. His events and design company, launched in 2019, channels the island of Taiwan's iconic night markets and cultural flair into the southern Chinese metropolis.

Starting from scratch was no easy feat—Zhou admits he faced 'countless 3 a.m. hustle sessions'—but his vision paid off. Today, his business not only thrives but also mentors young residents of Taiwan eager to explore opportunities across the strait.

'Shenzhen’s openness lets creativity shine,' Zhou says. His team has designed pop-up festivals and retail spaces that fuse cross-strait influences, proving that cultural exchange is the ultimate trend. For aspiring entrepreneurs, his advice? 'Find your niche, then build bridges—literally and figuratively.'
