Abstract
In recent years, Innovation and entrepreneurship have been a heatedly discussed topic and become a development philosophy of many cities and regions. Maker spaces and incubators are blossoming all over the world. However, many obstacles emerge from the mechanism, such as lacking vitality, limiting resource sharing and knowledge flow, hindering interdisciplinary collaboration. This paper proposed a hypothesis that online co-creation platform can help bridge these gaps. Then we use qualitative research methods to discuss the issues. A preliminary conclusion was drawn that the online co-creation design method can link stakeholders, establish sharing mechanisms and promote entrepreneurial communities building. This study proposed that an online entrepreneurial community with a co-creation approach has a good effect on breaking through information barriers and improving the full flow of knowledge, technology, human resources, and investment. Finally, based on all the research findings and analysis, a set of design strategies are proposed that the online entrepreneurial community should follow.
