View program & itinerary →HOW IT RUNS
How a tour here runs
Shanghai's value to a delegation is the range of sites inside one city. An itinerary here can put humanoid robotics and the prototyping lines behind it, consumer AR and spatial computing, insurance and financial technology, social commerce and instant delivery at city scale, computer vision and multimodal models, autonomous-driving operations, industrial robot systems and front-warehouse grocery into the same week — a mix that is hard to assemble anywhere else in China. Several hosts are operating sites rather than showrooms, and the laboratories behind them are where the product decisions become visible.
WHO IT'S FOR
Who this tour is for
AR / spatial-computing, insurtech and consumer-tech delegations; brand and product teams benchmarking China's international business hub; and investors assessing Shanghai's innovation ecosystem. Programs run 2–4 days and combine smoothly with Hangzhou or Shenzhen on a multi-city route.
