In an era defined by unprecedented disruption, geopolitical shifts, and technological acceleration, the imperative for business leaders is clear: adapt swiftly, innovate boldly, and anticipate what’s next. Few places embody this imperative better than Shenzhen—a city that has rewritten the rules of economic transformation, evolving from a quiet fishing village into the world’s most dynamic innovation hub in just 40 years. Today, it is the beating heart of China’s tech revolution, home to industry giants, agile disruptors, and visionary incubators that are redefining the future of global business.
The SIDC-IMD Learning Expedition to Shenzhen is a transformative 3.5-day executive experience designed to decode the secrets behind China’s innovation dominance. Far beyond a conventional study tour, this programme immerses senior leaders in Shenzhen’s unique ecosystem—where policy, technology, and entrepreneurial ambition converge at lightning speed. Participants will:
