Gleaming sky-scrapers are home for many large businesses. But for startups shooting for the sky, these towers are often financially out of reach. A group of entrepreneurs from Dalian think they've found a solution.
The majority of startup entrepreneurs often find themselves struggling to find a place to get going, and one of the most common causes of failure is the lack of capital. This is where the idea of a "maker-space" - converted from abandoned shipping containers - comes in.
"We provide young entrepreneurs 15 SQ meters/20 SQ meters space, at 40 percent of the average rent. So to them it is very attractive."
A 20 foot container occupies the equivalent of one parking spot. It's plenty of space for start-ups with low headcounts. And the most crucial part of the project is getting administrative approval.

霓虹闪烁的摩天大楼里有很多大型公司 。但对于勇攀高峰的创业者而言,这些大楼往往可望而不可即 。大连的一群创业者认为他们找到了解决办法 。
多数创业者都发现想要找到办公地点实属不易,最主要的原因就是缺乏资金 。“创客空间”——用废弃集装箱改装而来——的想法就由此而生 。
“我们只收平均租价的40%给年轻的创业者提供15或20平米的空间 。这对他们而言很有吸引力 。”
一个20英尺的集装箱相当于一个车位的空间 。这对人数较少的起步者而言足够了 。整项工程最关键的部分是获得行政批准 。
