Curated Business & Innovation Immersion in China
Every executive delegation gets the same slide deck. Few get the room. The Global Executive Program is built around direct, closed-door access to the founders, executives, and engineers actually building China’s next economy — not a curated showcase, but a working conversation.
We can build a bespoke visit around any company, sector, or focus — just ask.
For: CFOs, payments and fintech executives, digital transformation leads

Ant Group grew out of Alipay to become the operator of the world’s largest mobile payment platform, serving over a billion users and millions of merchants through inclusive digital payment, credit, and wealth management services. Its proprietary technologies — including the blockchain platform AntChain and the distributed database OceanBase — now support digital transformation across industries far beyond payments, and its Alipay+ solutions are increasingly powering cross-border digital payments across Asia.
Inside Ant Group’s Hangzhou campus, your delegation will meet directly with product and strategy leaders to understand how the company scaled from a single payments app into a full financial operating system — and how it’s now exporting that infrastructure internationally. Expect candid conversation, not a scripted showcase: this is a working session, not a museum tour.

Founded in 2015 and originally incubated inside the Harvard Innovation Lab before relocating its headquarters to Hangzhou, BrainCo is a global leader in non-invasive brain-computer interface technology. The company has translated frontier neuroscience research into commercial products for medical and consumer wellness use — from its AI-powered BrainRobotics bionic hand to its Focus neurofeedback headband.
Your delegation will tour BrainCo’s showroom and R&D space, see live demonstrations of its bionic hand and neurofeedback products, and speak directly with the team about how the company moved from a Harvard research lab to real-world manufacturing and distribution — a path most deep-tech founders talk about but few have actually walked.
