Global Connect Show China Innovation Tour 2026

In early June, we welcomed 26 journalists from around the world the GCS China Innovation Tour, taking them behind the scenes of the companies and incubators representing the next wave in consumer tech innovation. Our most ambitious programme yet, the tour brought media to four cities in a single week — offering everything from startup incubator visits and early product demos to private CEO briefings and behind-the-scenes access to how robotics and green energy technologies move from development to deployment.

The tour put media in direct contact with the people and processes shaping consumer tech, making it a key moment for understanding how ideas move from prototype to global scale within China's tech ecosystem.
