A four-day mission in November 2026 for Silicon Valley investors, founders and technology leaders to go inside the companies, people and infrastructure turning AI into globally scaled physical products.
The next generation of AI is moving into robots, drones, vehicles, cameras, wearables, energy systems and entirely new categories of intelligent hardware.
Few places on earth combine these capabilities with the density and speed of Shenzhen and the Greater Bay Area. Once AI has to meet sensors, motors, batteries, materials and industrial design, one question starts to matter more than any other:
Selected visits go deeper than the showroom: technology, product strategy, engineering, manufacturing — and what these companies are building next.
See how AI, vision, sensors, precision mechanics and manufacturing become one integrated Physical AI system.
Explore batteries, electronics, intelligent mobility and vertically integrated manufacturing operating at extraordinary scale.
Study how a Shenzhen-born technology company turned deep imaging innovation into a global consumer brand.
Understand how an engineering-led startup rapidly redefined the consumer 3D-printing experience and scaled globally.
See the evolution from a breakthrough hardware product toward a broader smart-home energy ecosystem.
A glimpse into how intelligent mobility is expanding toward a much broader Physical AI platform.
Illustrative target companies; final visits are subject to scheduling and confirmation.
Successful companies are only half the story. We go behind them to understand the connected infrastructure that turns technology into product — and product into scale.
Experience the extraordinary density of electronics components, specialist suppliers and engineering capability inside one connected ecosystem.
Understand how engineering talent moves through product definition, R&D, supply chain and commercialization — and how engineers become hardware founders.
See flexible hardware infrastructure built for rapid prototyping, PCB production, iteration and small-batch manufacturing.
Step inside highly automated production to understand robotics, quality control, yield, cost and manufacturing efficiency at scale.
Meet selected emerging founders and companies working where AI meets the physical world.
Shenzhen + Greater Bay Area, November 2026. Exact dates are confirmed with selected participants.
Every evening is designed as access, not entertainment. Choose what you want to see.
An invitation-only table with Shenzhen founders, operators and investors. No stage, no deck — the conversation you cannot buy your way into, about what is actually working and what outsiders keep getting wrong.
One evening brings the delegation together with the wider Shenzhen ecosystem — emerging founders, local investors, industry operators and technology executives — high above the skyline that built all of it.
A structured, off-the-record session on the final day: where Physical AI goes next, and what the two ecosystems can build together — followed by curated 1:1 introductions.
Approximately 10–15 participants, selected for relevance, contribution and fit with the companies and people we plan to bring into the room.
VC · PE · Family Offices
AI · Robotics · Hardware · Mobility · Energy
AI · Robotics · Physical AI · Consumer Hardware
Product · Innovation · Manufacturing · Supply Chain · Strategy
AI · Engineering · Robotics · Entrepreneurship
As AI moves into the physical world, these two ecosystems have more reasons to understand each other than ever before.
November 2026 · Shenzhen + Greater Bay Area. Participation is limited to 10–15 people and subject to a brief selection process.
Final itinerary and company visits are subject to confirmation.
