16 Chinese Startups Came Out With A Bang At The ChinaBang Conference

Founder Alex Su presented an attractive demo of his social web and mobile travel organizer app, TukeQ. TukeQ has already been recognized for its big potential as a former incubatee of Research Works. In his presentation, Alex demonstrated the ability for users to intuitively and quickly drag-and-drop activities or places of interest into an itinerary. Brilliantly, the map automatically populates the route from A to B to C. For instance, if you were in Sydney, Australia and wanted to go from Bondi Beach to Circular Quay to Chinatown, your itinerary would show you when and where to go and map out the path. The most compelling thing is its ability to leverage social connections. Meaning, people in my network can recommend places to visit and things to see. You can see the recommendations, and drag them into your own plan. People on TukeQ can connect using Sina Weibo. Kelly Poon of Atomico recommended TukeQ consider creating an English version for foreigners to organize their travel to China, however Alex obviously defined his market as the burgeoning crowd of newly-rich Chinese travelers, looking to explore and experience the world.
