Xindanwei: A new way of working

Xindanwei, which literally means “New Work Unit,” mingles, catalyzes and supports startups and innovators in China and around the world. We create community workspaces, facilitate creativity, sharing, and collaboration, and co-develop new models and methods with world-changing potential.

Xindanwei flagship workspace is located in the heart of the French Concession area. It is an amazingly decorated 6-storey lane house from the 1930’s, with antique art deco furniture, rustic wooden floors, ceiling beams & a roof terrace. It provides professional services such as an open office, private conference rooms, a high-speed and secure wifi connection, vpn, printing, copying and scanning.

Xindanwei combines the best elements of a workspace (productive, functional) with a social media platform (hybrid, real-time, efficient) and a creative hub (social, energetic, creative). This gives people their own workspace in a community, while also providing opportunities to share knowledge face-to-face and get inspired through collaboration with other members. A Xindanwei membership is evaluated and adjusted based on the value of each member’s contributions and interactions in the community.
