Why now?

This isn't tech tourism.
It's on-the-ground intelligence.

Every year that goes by without understanding what’s really happening in China is a year of strategic delay. We’re not talking about trend reports and webinars. We’re talking about physically visiting factories, talking to founders, and seeing with your own eyes what really works.

Five intensive days. Three key cities—Shenzhen, Hangzhou, and Shanghai. Direct access to nine of the world’s most advanced players in AI, robotics, autonomous driving, drug discovery, and healthcare, plus insights into China’s hardware ecosystem. A group of 20 executives selected to ensure the quality of the discussions and the consistency of their profiles.

You don’t walk out with a certificate. You walk out with a vision that no report can give you.
