For startups, a good location with reasonable rent is hard to come by. In China its even harder with business regulations that dissuade many from starting their own business. There’s a new industrial park in town that’s seeking to change all this, turning a former school campus into a haven for young creative companies, and this place is called Mr. Box.
?Mr. Box is a 38 acre (22,000 square meter) multifunctional industrial park combined with two-way governmental financial subsidies in e-commerce, cultural and creative industries. Its not only an ideal place for work, but for life, consisting of spaces for offices, e-businesses, entrepreneur spaces, arts, creative retail, and food. There is even a live music venue – Time Beacon Live House – and a skateboard park.
All-In-One
The park is located in Jiangdong District, close to the city center and a stones throw away from the Jiangdong District government offices. While traditional industrial parks lie in the suburbs for the sake of large space and cheap rent, Mr. Box is more conveniently located in the city center. Also, traditional industrial parks only focus on company set up, but Mr. Box prides itself in being an All-In-One (AIO) park which not only serves young entrepreneurs but can become a new spot for nightlife, entertainment, creative and cultural industries, and the arts.
The main investor in Mr. Box, King Hoo Town Industrial Co., Ltd., has previous experience with such projects, having already opened a branch of Mr. Box in Hangzhou, with Ningbo being their second location. The company is devoted to repurposing old buildings and bringing outdated areas back to life with the help of startups.
Starting Up with Mr. Box
?Mr. Box offers not only a great location but reasonable rent. The bottom price is 0.5 RMB/Day/Square Meters, which is impossible elsewhere in the city center. For those who are still on the way towards opening their own business, offices are available for 2-2.5 RMB/Day/Square Meters. Renting for stores is 3-8 RMB/Day/Square Meters. In some cases, you can get a 50% rental subsidy at most and a rent-free period for up to seven months. Some offices have already been decorated and are waiting for new businesses to move in.
All-round set-up assistance is provided by the park. Mr. Box offers free conference and reception rooms, and investment and financial offices have been set up to help companies with intermediary services such as legal financial affairs, human resources, technological application and trademark regulations. Consultations on applying for business funds at the national, provincial, or municipal level are also available to companies. In Mr. Box, entrepreneurs can discuss ideas and business issues, seek cooperation and share resources. Also, Mr. Box is cooperating with Ningbo University to provide benefits for students interested in setting up a business in the park.

对新兴公司来说，地段佳且租金合理的场地可遇不可求，中国的商业条例更是使创业变得尤为困难。近日，闲置多年的宁波大学海洋学院曙光路老校区被改造成了新兴创意公司的天堂——“集盒”。
?集盒一体化复合型跨界产业园占地38亩（22000平方米），是一个集电子商务、文化和创意产业且得到双向政府财政补贴的多功能产业园。对于工作和生活而言，集盒产业园都是理想之地。项目规划包括办公区、电商产业园区、众创空间、艺术空间、创意集市、食尚街区等多个区块，甚至还有灯塔音乐现场和溜冰公园。
一体化
产业园位于江东区核心地段，紧邻城市主干线和江东区政府机关。为了获得占地面积大且租金便宜的区域，传统产业园都选址于市郊。相对来说，集盒产业园更方便，因为它位于市中心。此外，传统产业园只关注创建公司，而集盒产业园深感自豪的是它不仅服务于年轻创客，还成为夜生活、娱乐、创意文化产业和艺术的新场所。
集盒产业园的主投资公司杭州集物堂实业有限公司先前已经做过类似的项目，杭州的集盒商业体早已营业，宁波是其第二个选址地点。集物堂致力于重新利用老式建筑，在创业公司的帮助下为老式建筑注入新鲜血液，使它们重现生机。
与集盒一起创业吧
?集盒产业园不仅地理位置优越，而且租金合理。最低价格为每天每平方米0.5元，在市中心的其他位置绝对享受不到这个待遇。对于那些仍在试图创业的人们，办公室的租金为每天每平方米2到2.5元。店铺的租金为每天每平方米3到8元。在某些情况下，你最多可获得占租金一半的补贴以及长达7个月的免租期。一些办公室已经装修完毕，正等待新公司入驻。
在集盒产业园内可享受到全面的创业援助。园区配备免费的会议室和会客室，设有投资和金融服务办公室，为入驻公司提供中介服务，包括法律金融事务服务、人力资源服务、技术应用服务和商标管理法规服务。公司也可咨询如何申请国家级、省级或市级创业基金。在集盒产业园内，创客们可以交换意见、讨论贸易问题、寻求合作和分享资源。此外，集盒产业园和宁波大学正在展开合作，为有意在园区内创建公司的学生们提供福利。
在集盒产业园创建公司需要哪些材料呢？
如果你对自己的商业想法足够自信，现在是时候采取行动了。请准备以下材料：
1、护照、签证和由翻译公司盖了章的翻译副本；
2、营业执照复印件一份，如果你还未申请营业执照，集盒产业园可以协助你办理；
3、来自中国驻贵国大使馆或贵国驻中国大使馆的身份证明原件；
4、你在自己本国的银行账户的原始文件。
目前已有80家店铺入驻集盒，包括一些餐馆、咖啡厅、酒吧和音乐场所等等。集盒会在八月到九月期间进行试运营，然后在十月隆重开幕,敬请期待!
