🇨🇳 China Innovation Journey: The Greater Bay Area (March 19-24, 2026)

March 19–24, 2026 | Shenzhen → Dongguan → Guangzhou

🚀 Explore the Engine of China’s Innovation Ecosystem 

Join a six-day curated journey through China’s most dynamic innovation hub — the Greater Bay Area (GBA).

Led by Yuanpu Huang (Yuan), author of Unpacking China and The New Wave of Going Global, this program connects global entrepreneurs, investors, and scholars directly with the people and companies shaping China’s next decade of technology and industry.

Unlike typical business tours, this is a small, high-level delegation with executive access:

Each corporate visit is hosted by VP-level or above representatives from China’s most influential tech enterprises — providing first-hand perspectives on innovation, strategy, and globalization.

From robotics to AI, consumer electronics to autonomous mobility, you’ll witness how the GBA has evolved from the world’s factory to the world’s innovation laboratory.
