Itinerary

Day 1Chengdu: Tianfu Software Park and the Western China Hi-Tech Zone

Morning - Tianfu Software Park
Chengdu's hi-tech zone was established in 1988 as one of China's first national-level technology development zones, and the Tianfu Software Park that opened inside it has since filled with software, gaming, outsourcing and cloud companies. Your host walks you through the park and explains what draws firms here: engineering graduates from the city's universities, lower operating costs than the coast, and direct air links west.

Late morning - Company visit
Visit a technology or manufacturing company matched to your sector, with a short briefing and a walk through the working environment. Chengdu also anchors a substantial electronics manufacturing base, including semiconductor packaging and display production.

Lunch
A business lunch in the hi-tech zone.

Afternoon - Briefing and discussion
A briefing on investment incentives, company set-up, recruitment and the practicalities of operating in Western China, followed by an open discussion and, if you wish, a session where your own team presents its plans.
