World Class Enterprise Association Successfully Concludes Shenzhen Innovation Enterprise Visit Program

The World Class Enterprise Association announced on the 17th that it had successfully concluded the "China (Shenzhen) Innovation Enterprise Visit Program," which ran for four days starting on the 14th.

This program was organized to help member companies expand their entry into the Chinese market and explore opportunities for technological cooperation. It focused on visits to global innovation companies representing Shenzhen and on building collaborative networks with local institutions.

Member companies participating in the World Class Enterprise Association visited leading companies in China’s core future industries, such as electric vehicles, artificial intelligence (AI), robotics, and ICT, gaining firsthand insights into the local industrial ecosystem and technological competitiveness.

First, the delegation visited BYD, a global electric vehicle and battery company, to learn about the latest trends and production infrastructure in the eco-friendly mobility industry. At Baidu, a leading Chinese IT company at the forefront of AI and autonomous driving technologies, they experienced autonomous driving technology firsthand and observed the development direction of AI-based future mobility.

The participating member companies also visited SenseTime, a leading Chinese AI software company, to review various industrial applications of AI technologies such as computer vision and smart city solutions. At JLC Technology Group, a global manufacturing infrastructure company, they had the opportunity to benchmark smart manufacturing operations and the one-stop integrated model. Additionally, at Dobot, a collaborative robot company, they observed real-world applications of smart manufacturing and automation technologies.

Notably, this program went beyond simple company visits and achieved tangible cooperation outcomes. The World Class Enterprise Association signed Memoranda of Understanding (MOUs) with "Go Global," a Shenzhen municipal government agency supporting international expansion, and "36Kr," a leading Chinese startup and tech company information and investment platform, laying the groundwork for its member companies to enter the Chinese market.

Lee Sung-ho, Chairman of Unitech and newly inaugurated President of the World Class Enterprise Association earlier this year, stated, "This program was significant in that it allowed us to experience the core sites of China’s key industries such as AI, electric vehicles, and robotics firsthand, while also creating practical business opportunities through cooperation with local institutions. We plan to continuously expand various overseas expansion support programs to help our member companies secure competitiveness in the global market."
