NewCo首次落地亚洲 Bringing NewCo To Asia
NewCo，“New Company”，新企业之缩写，是一种新的商务会议模式。准确地说它更像一场音乐节，把城市中最酷的几十家企业变成舞台，上演主题节目，让参加者入内观看，互动，狂欢。
NewCo最早在美国兴起，已在全球16座城市举办过，超过2500家前沿公司为NewCo拉开帷幕。很多人都厌倦了千篇一律的商务大会，听演讲时刷手机，社交环节机械地交换名片。于是，2016年，NewCo来到亚洲，选择落地上海，将举办权交给了亚洲第一家创业加速器“中国加速”。如中国加速董事总经理宾威廉所说：“国内从未有过这样形式的创新大会，让你可以走进这些很牛的互联网公司，深入参观。”
据统计，往期NewCo吸引的大多是30-40岁的优秀人才，他们有的希望从开放企业中获得灵感，有的来寻找志同道合的共同创始人，有的招揽贤才，有的是寻找投资项目，也有的来找商业伙伴。。。自170年前开埠以来，上海就是国内开放城市的标杆。NewCo是上海的一次试验，也是国内商务会议的革新尝试。
即将为NewCo开启大门的上海公司包括网红搜索引擎——Robin8，引爆朋友圈的修图APP——足记，全球最大的互联网服务器管理公司——云络科技，获得沪江投资的语言教学平台——italki，国内领先的团队协作工具——Teambition，等。我们将逐渐公布共20家参与企业名单。
9月13日，中国加速诚挚邀请您一起见证NewCo在亚洲的第一次亮相。

On September 13th, NewCo comes to Asia for the first time, planting its feet in Shanghai. “We look forward to the opportunity for our international audience to get an in-depth look at business on a mission in China, and we’re thrilled to partner with Chinaccelerator to bring NewCo to Shanghai this year,” says John Battelle, CEO of NewCo.
NewCo is a new kind of event experience: a mashup of an open studio tour and a business conference, with the vibe of a music festival. The global festival will showcase the latest trends in Shanghai’s fastest growing industries, such as big data, machine learning, AI, ad-tech, education, and cloud computing. “Nothing like this existed in China before, where you get to gather inside the offices of the world’s leading internet companies,” says William Bao Bean, Managing Director of Chinaccelerator. “ We are very happy to launch Shanghai as the 17th city in the world hosting a NewCo festival.”
NewCo’s mission is to identify and celebrate new kinds of companies driving the transition to a sustainable, positive-impact business ecosystem. This is exactly the energy that Chinaccelerator is exuding. The fund behind Chinaccelerator, SOSV, is committed to accelerating founders’ big ideas for positive change, and building communities that provide lasting connections.
As the festival nears, we will be announcing the full list of host companies and speakers at NewCo Shanghai. Google, Pillar Legal, Slush and WeWork have already joined as our local partners. Join more than 200 of local and global visitors exploring innovative organizations throughout Shanghai on September 13th, 2016! For more information, please visit http://newco-sh.com.
