This interactive deep dive explores why China is able to translate emerging technologies into real business adoption so quickly.

Using cases from commerce, manufacturing, logistics and AI, we will examine some of the mechanisms behind China’s deployment advantage: intense competition, rapid experimentation, ecosystem thinking and a focus on end-to-end systems rather than isolated pilots.

The session will then connect these principles to the participants’ own business environments and explore what companies elsewhere could adapt to move from efficiency-focused AI projects and innovation theatre towards real business impact.

As discussed, I would structure the second session as an interactive 45-minute deep dive that can also work with a larger audience, rather than as the small breakout workshop originally proposed.
