A rising tech star

Xiaomi was founded in 2010 in Beijing and since then has developed from a smartphone producer to a holistic consumer electronics producer. Among steadily growing revenue and profits, the company became one of the world’s most valuable tech brands. One aspect of the company’s growth strategy was to not only focus on smartphones, but also expand towards broader consumer electronics. Xiaomi is now established as an industry leader, especially in the smart home market.
