WHAT WE DO
Every visit is built from your questions.
Access to decision-makers
We get you inside the building with the product, technology and R&D leaders who own the work.
Beyond the companies
We add investors, policymakers, universities and media wherever they answer your questions.
Briefs and follow-up
A tailored brief before every meeting. Afterwards, an executive summary with findings, a target list and a follow-up plan.
Delivery on the ground
Bilingual facilitation, logistics, and curated visibility at forums and receptions where it helps.
WHAT MAKES IT WORK
Five tracks. We go deep on the ones that answer your questions.
The research, economics and product choices behind next-generation AI.
How China's platforms package AI for business.
Applied AI at work in specific industries.
Intelligent driving, humanoid robots, perception and manufacturing.
The investors, policy and institutions behind deployment.
SAMPLE ROUTE
Beijing: how smart. Shenzhen: how real.
Arrival and framing; frontier models with Moonshot AI and Zhipu AI; platforms and compute with Baidu and ByteDance; perception and autonomy with Horizon Robotics, then an investor dinner; debrief.
The full stack with Huawei and Tencent; embodied AI with UBTECH and DeepRoute.ai; the hardware ecosystem with RoboSense and Shenzhen's supply chain; institutional meetings, media or a forum; closing debrief and follow-up plan.
Two to three substantive meetings a day, not a parade of visits. One primary target per slot, alternatives ready.
Sample itinerary. Every route is rebuilt around the client brief, and company access is confirmed per program. Flights, local transport, accommodation, meals and third-party event fees are not included.
You don't observe. You take part.
You present
Delegates have given keynotes with government leaders in the room.
You sign
Memoranda of understanding signed on the ground with universities and companies.
You sit at the table
Main-table seats at high-level forums, alongside ambassadors and consuls general.
A small, vetted cohort of entrepreneurs, executives, investors and researchers, so hosts treat it as an exchange among peers.
