“A journey of a thousand miles always begins with a single step” (Lao Tzu)

Over the past few decades, China has undergone an extraordinary transformation, evolving from an emerging economy into one of the main engines of global innovation. Driven by a powerful and rapid technological push, supported by a long-term strategic vision and strong public-private integration, the country is redefining not only the rules of global business, but also the geopolitical balance of the world we live in.

The Strategic Business Tour “China Unlocked: inside the new innovation paradigm” offers a unique opportunity to engage directly with one of the most dynamic innovation ecosystems in the world. Through meetings and discussions with leading companies in two of the country's key strategic hubs – Shanghai, China's economic and financial powerhouse, and Shenzhen, a global capital of technological innovation, home to companies such as Tencent, ZTE, and BYD – participants will be able to observe first-hand the logic, dynamics and ambition driving China’s competitiveness.

Understanding this trajectory means more than analyzing a market or a country system: it means engaging with new ways of thinking about leadership, risk, time and strategy. Taking part in this Strategic Business Tour means experiencing innovation where it is actually happening, observing how ideas, investments and decisions are rapidly transformed into concrete, scalable solutions.
Today, China can no longer be interpreted through traditional lenses: understanding its logic is a key skill for those who aspire to play an active role in the emerging global competition.

Planned activities:

• meetings with business leaders and experts in key sectors of Chinese innovation
• direct exchanges with major players and high-potential startups, to analyze growth models and competitive strategies
• company visits across the major innovation hubs of Shanghai and Shenzhen, offering firsthand insights into the integration of technology, industry, and strategic vision
• networking opportunities and local experiences, to foster exchange among participants and deepen understanding of the context.

 
Participation is subject to submission of the registration form. The programme is subject to final confirmation of the scheduled meetings.
