"Zhongchuang Space" is a new word refined by the Ministry of Science and Technology on the basis of investigating entrepreneurial service institutions such as maker space and incubator base in Beijing and Shenzhen, and summarizing the experience of service entrepreneurs in various places.

According to the definition in "the State Council Opinions", Zhongchuang Space is the general name of a new type of entrepreneurial service platform with low cost, convenience, all elements and openness, which conforms to the characteristics and needs of innovation and entrepreneurship in the network era and is built through market-oriented mechanism, professional service and capitalization.
