What Guides Our Design?
In a future where digital nomadism is the trend, the development of technology will inspire a qualitative change in the way digital nomads live and work.
At present, the digital nomadic industry is still in the blue ocean stage. The industry is mostly a digital platform for providing information and services, lacking systematic solutions.
Flexible adaptation to different jobs, environmental locations and transportation modes is the core competitive direction of the future industry.
