INNOVATION HUB · Sichuan, China
Chengdu Tech Tour
Western China's energy and advanced-manufacturing base — power and grid equipment, solar, automotive supply and consumer hardware.
Chengdu is where western China's energy and advanced-manufacturing economy concentrates, and its industrial map is broad: power-generation and grid equipment, solar and polysilicon, automotive and aerospace supply, consumer electronics and smart hardware, alongside the research institutes and universities that feed them. What makes the city useful to a delegation is that several of those sit in one metropolitan area, so a single programme can read a supply chain at two or three different levels. Programmes run as half-day modules per host.
Priced by group, not per person. Best fit: 10–20 participants; individuals and smaller groups may inquire.

How a tour here runs
Chengdu's value to a delegation is the spread of its industrial map: a programme can move between the energy side — power-generation and grid equipment, solar and polysilicon — and the consumer-hardware side, where the question is how a Chinese brand takes a category into overseas markets. What you walk into varies with the host: exhibition halls that frame how a business and its product line developed, production and assembly floors, and the engineering or test facilities behind them. Because several hosts sit at different levels of the same supply chain, Chengdu reads as a chain rather than as a group of similar companies.
WHO IT'S FOR
Who this tour is for
Power-generation, grid and energy-storage delegations comparing how a large equipment group covers coal, hydro, nuclear, gas, wind and solar; solar and polysilicon teams reading cost position through an industry cycle; consumer-hardware and brand teams studying how a Chinese category leader builds overseas revenue; and manufacturing teams benchmarking western China's industrial base. Programs run 1–2 days and combine smoothly with the wider Sichuan route.
GOOD TO KNOW
Frequently asked questions
Which industries can I visit in Chengdu?
Chengdu programmes span solar and polysilicon manufacturing, power-generation equipment and consumer hardware. Hosts whose programme runs in more than one city can also be arranged as part of a combined itinerary. Each programme includes a facility or showroom tour and a themed dialogue with the company team.
Is Chengdu good for solar and power-equipment delegations?
Yes. Chengdu puts solar and polysilicon manufacturing and power-generation equipment within the same city — a rare single-city read on both the photovoltaic supply chain and the generation side it feeds.
How do I arrange a Chengdu tech tour?
Please contact us at least 30 days before your preferred visit date; the minimum group size is 10 participants. These are our service terms for organising an international business delegation. Dates are confirmed by each host against its own operating calendar, so the earlier a date is requested the better.
