Hong Kong & Shenzhen Inspiration Tour and Factfinding Mission

5 days. 2 cities. Endless insights.
Welcome to this years Conference on Wheels journey through Hong Kong and Shenzhen — a unique fact-finding mission that takes you directly into the heartbeat of Asia’s most dynamic innovation hubs.
This is not a conference where you sit in a ballroom. Instead, you move through the city — meeting entrepreneurs, executives, investors, academics, and innovators in their natural habitats. From the skyscrapers of Hong Kong to the electrified boulevards of Shenzhen, you will experience first-hand the mindset, speed, and culture that are shaping the next global chapter of technology and business.

Why Hong Kong & Shenzhen?
Together, Hong Kong and Shenzhen form the Greater Bay Area — a region of more than 80 million people, home to some of the world’s biggest technology giants (Tencent, Huawei, DJI, BYD) and thousands of ambitious startups.
• Hong Kong is in transition: a financial hub reinventing itself as a digital economy hotspot. It offers unique perspectives on trust, governance, and the role of regulation in innovation. Institutions like Cyberport host more than 1,900 startups, and global banking giants experiment with new models of finance.
• Shenzhen, once a fishing village of 40,000 in 1986, is today a 20-million-strong megacity. Known for “Shenzhen Speed,” it is where hardware dreams are prototyped overnight, where every taxi and bus runs electric, and where global markets watch the rise of companies like BYD, HAX, and Huawei.
This region is the frontline of China’s 100-year plans — long-term visions paired with rapid execution. If Silicon Valley is about disruption, the Greater Bay Area is about scale and speed.

What to Expect
Over five intense days, you will:
• Meet pioneers of finance, AI, and deep tech — from HSBC asset managers to HKUST professors reshaping AI ethics.
• Step inside the startup ecosystems of Cyberport in Hong Kong and HAX in Shenzhen, where hardware, fintech, and digital education collide.
• Explore future cities in motion — from Shenzhen’s rapid EV transformation to the educational labs that shape China’s next generation.
• Debate cultural intelligence — how to operate in China as a guest, the art of guanxi (trust and relationships), and why “being copied” is no longer a weakness but a badge of relevance.
• Understand exponential mindsets — why Alibaba has a 100-year plan, why speed is China’s strongest currency, and why everything not explicitly forbidden is allowed.

Program Snapshot
• Monday & Tuesday — Hong Kong
Exponential Briefing. Meetings with founders, banks, accelerators, and thought leaders. Dive into the city’s role in the Greater Bay Area and its transition into a digital hub.
• Wednesday & Thursday — Shenzhen
From BYD to Huawei, from hardware markets to venture accelerators — witness “Shenzhen Speed” in action. Experience how this megacity became a testing ground for the future of energy, mobility, and manufacturing.
• Friday — Hong Kong
Reflection day with future-oriented education pioneers and wrap-up discussions: What do these learnings mean for your industry? How will you translate them into action?

Who Should Join?
This tour is designed for CEOs, board members, strategists, investors, consultants, and decision-makers who need to understand Asia’s role in the future of technology and global business.
Whether you lead transformation in a multinational, guide investment strategies, or advise governments, this program will help you:
• Anticipate future scenarios in finance, AI, deep tech, and sustainability.
• Develop social intelligence for operating across cultural contexts.
• Gain clarity on where to position yourself and your organization in an age of exponential change.

Why Join This Tour?
Because if it already makes the news, it’s too late.
By the time headlines reach you, the innovators here have already moved on to the next prototype, policy, or paradigm. This tour ensures you are in the room where the future is being built.
Each time we return, the Valley of the East has shifted just enough to give us a new perspective. Come see it for yourself.
