The International Workplace Fashion Technology Park was recognized as a national science-and-technology business incubator in 2013. Thus, a business-incubation chain featuring "Business Starter Culture-Incubator-Accelerator" has been formed. In 2018, the International Workplace Fashion Technology Park was recognized by the Industry and Information Technology Commission of Guangzhou Municipality and the Urban Renewal Bureau of Guangzhou Municipality as the only pilot project in Baiyun District devoted to quality improvement and efficiency enhancement.
Given the trends with respect to livestreaming e-commerce, traditional trade, fashion and beauty, and apparel enterprises in the park have transformed and upgraded themselves to embark on the road of live commerce. In order to aggregate livestreaming industry enterprises, the International Workplace Fashion Technology Park has built a Times livestreaming ecological base by capitalizing on its physical space. While introducing and cultivating livestreaming enterprises, the park brings together hundreds of upstream and downstream enterprises beneath the umbrella of livestreaming, which covers different product supply chains, agency livestreaming operations and short video shooting. Thus, it has forged a full-cycle livestreaming industry chain of production design, research and development, livestreaming marketing, channels, and extended services.
