FBC Presents
See China as it truly is, not through headlines, but through the eyes of those who build it.
This is not a study tour. This is a living conversation with one of the world's most consequential economies.
For family business owners and their next generation, China is impossible to ignore, yet profoundly misunderstood. The noise of geopolitics, trade wars, and media narratives often obscures what matters most: how China's entrepreneurs actually think, build, and endure across generations.
FBC has curated a six-day immersion across two cities, Shenzhen and Beijing, designed to give you rare, candid, and deeply contextual access. You will meet founders, visit factories, sit with policy thinkers, and break bread with Chinese family enterprises that have survived and thrived across decades.
You will leave with a clearer head, a stronger network, and a shared language with your family about China's role in your future.
Where innovation meets legacy
6 – 8 September
Innovation Powerhouse
Forty years ago, Shenzhen was a fishing village. Today it produces more patents than most nations. This is where China's ambition becomes tangible — in factories, labs, and the sheer velocity of its builders.
9 – 11 September
Policy, Culture & Legacy
Beijing is where China's story is written, in policy chambers, centuries-old family businesses, and the quiet resilience of those who have served the country across generations.
Six days. Two cities. Countless insights.
Please note that the program is subject to change.
Learn about China's cutting-edge technologies and tech companies, from EV giants to consumer hardware leaders, drone innovation and frontier AI.
Meet family-owned businesses who carry historic legacies across generations, and exchange perspectives on continuity, succession and shared values.
Understand China through the lens of its academics and politicians, with closed-door sessions designed to ground your view beyond the headlines.
An investment in clarity, for your business, and your family.
