Track one is on the 2nd floor of Jupiter NEXT
Drawing on two decades of experience, Seeed Studio founder Eric Pan reveals how open manufacturing lets hardware developers co-create, iterate, and scale hardware faster than ever. Eric will unpack Shenzhen’s supply chains and next-generation developer platforms shaping 2026. Through the lens of a company that not only creates its own products that ship over millions of devices globally, but also supports the maker ecosystem for independent hardware creation, Eric breaks down a global co-creation production stack, spanning the full lifecycle from prototyping to scalable manufacturing.
