1. Project Background

Under the dual pressure of technology decoupling and supply chain regionalization between China and the United States, Chinese manufacturing is facing the decision of "cutting off its arm": if it does not break out of its comfort zone, it will be difficult to win the next round of global competition.

In 2025, with the deep restructuring of the global trade pattern, the window of cooperation between China and Europe will once again open - the Huazhi International "Specialized, Innovative, Hidden Crown Entrepreneurs European Business Inspection" team will visit Germany, Switzerland, and the United Kingdom successively.

This time, the UK will focus on the four core cities to provide a breakthrough for Chinese manufacturing.

First stop in London - Insight into political decision-making and financial trends, grasp global capital flows; The second stop is Cambridge - visiting top universities around the world and discussing future technologies with research pioneers; The third stop is Birmingham - enter the industrial hub of the UK and unlock the digital upgrade password for the manufacturing industry; The terminal station is Manchester - visit the intersection of finance and industry in the north to find new business opportunities and partners.

Professional itinerary design, precise benchmarking of enterprise development bottlenecks; Deeply communicate with renowned enterprises and directly address industry pain points; Top think tanks interpret and provide strategic implementation plans. Whether you want to break through technological barriers, seize international markets, or build a global layout, this inspection tour will bring you unprecedented perspectives and opportunities.

Limited recruitment, quota is limited. Join Huazhi International now and embark on a journey of "life and death breakthroughs and opportunities for the UK" in Chinese manufacturing with frontline experts and peer elites, jointly writing a new chapter in 2025!
