Bespoke Executive Tours

Get on the ground in China

Private, founder-led tours of China's technology and robotics hubs. Factory floors, CEO meetings, and on-the-ground briefings, built around your team and your goals.

The meetings that decide a project.

We live in China, publish on the manufacturers every week and track the market daily. That is why the founders take the meeting, why the line runs while you are on the floor, and why the conversation continues after you fly home.

Programmes run across Shenzhen, Shanghai, Suzhou and Hangzhou. Cities, companies and length follow your objective, never a fixed itinerary.

What we promise

And what we do not

A founder or board member appears in your programme once that meeting is confirmed, and we say so before you book flights. Where a name is still open, it stays open on the agenda.

Depending on your question, the most useful person in the room is often a product lead, a researcher or a supplier who can explain the problem clearly and stays a useful contact long after the visit.

Moving a group across three or four Chinese cities in five days needs realistic transfer times and a plan B for every slot. We build the margin in, because a day that runs late costs you a meeting.

Questions

Before you get in touch

Do you organise delegations to China?

Yes. We design and run private company visits across Shenzhen, Shanghai, Hangzhou and Suzhou. Cities, companies and length follow your objective, and we chair the meetings in both languages.

Can you find a robotics supplier for us?

Yes. We screen a market of several thousand manufacturers against a written specification, verify capability on site, and chair the first meeting.

Can you guarantee meetings with specific companies?

We name a company once the meeting is confirmed. Where a name cannot be confirmed we say so before you book flights.

What does a programme cost?

Every programme is quoted individually, because the cost follows group size, the number of cities and how much of the agenda is arranged directly with the companies.

What happens after the visit?

We stay involved until the project is agreed: follow-up with the manufacturer, translation of the technical exchange, and support through evaluation.

Who do you work with?

Investors, corporates, government delegations and robotics companies looking for a way into Europe.
