Flying cars, rapid AI implementation, $2 trillion e-commerce market: why our Inside Digital China tour is key for C-Suite leaders to stay ahead

Without any fanfare?China is taking a quantum leap.?The economic focus of the world has shifted to Asia. With?more than 1.2 billion internet users and a $2 trillion e-commerce?market, China is one of the largest, most advanced digital economies in?the world.

A global leader in e-commerce, digital payments, digital healthcare,?and social media platforms, in recent years, despite geopolitical?challenges, Tik Tok, Shein, Xiaomi, BYD and many other Chinese?brands have surpassed Western incumbents. The pace, agility, scale, and ambition of what is going on is?awe-inspiring. In November 2023, whilst others continue to focus on?self-driving cars, China’s EHang got a license to operate fully?autonomous, passenger-carrying, flying cars! Unequivocally, Chinese companies are now the frontrunners in many?of the new technologies that are shaping our future, where the rapid?implementation of AI is completely transforming industries and society.
