The two cities Shenzhen and Edinburgh signed a Memorandum of Understanding (MOU) in June 2013 which aims to provide reciprocal support for incubation space in each of the cities. Under the agreement of the two cities, ESCE is the first creative incubator run by the business mode of Shenzhen-Foreign cooperation, Government Leading, Enterprise Investment, Marketable Operation and Professional Team Management. It is an creative exchange program implemented in Shenzhen on the basis of cooperation between municipal governments of Shenzhen and Scotland after the two cities have officially become sister cities of each other. ESCE (Shenzhen Center) is the incubator in Shenzhen to encourage cultural, creative and tech sector small to medium sized businesses (SMEs) from Edinburgh to expand in China and raise their international profile. This work has also been supported by the Scottish Government and it delivers on a number of objectives set out in their China Plan and Economic Strategy through enhanced cultural collaboration and increased exchanges between both nations.
