Endeavor China Innovation Tour

The Endeavor China Innovation Tour is a highly curated, one-week immersion designed for Endeavor Entrepreneurs (EEs) seeking firsthand exposure to one of the world’s most advanced and fast-moving innovation ecosystems. Over one week, we move through the full AI stack — from the data centers and semiconductors powering it all, to the LLMs and foundation models being built on top, to the applied AI transforming autonomous vehicles, manufacturing, robotics, and consumer products.

Endeavor Global Ambassador Nicolas Aguzin — former CEO, Hong Kong Stock Exchange (HKEX) — will personally join and facilitate the tour. Nicolas brings decades of experience across China and Asia’s financial and technology ecosystems and deep relationships, offering EEs unparalleled “insider” access at the highest levels.

The tour will take place from Sunday, November 8 through Friday, November 13, 2026, spanning Shanghai, Hangzhou, Guangzhou, and Shenzhen. An optional one-day extension in Hong Kong is available on Saturday, November 14, at an additional cost. Note: This schedule is indicative and subject to change. Final details will be shared closer to the tour dates with registered participants.

This tour is open to EEs only. Registration closes on September 25, 2026, but we encourage you to register at the earliest, due to high demand and limited spots. To that end, participation is limited to one EE per company. For teams with multiple co-founders, we recommend the CEO attend, as the tour is designed around discussion and exchange at the leadership level.

What to Expect

Closed-door macro conversations with ecosystem stalwarts. Speakers include: Kai-Fu Lee (01.AI and Sinovation Ventures), Fred Hu (Primavera Capital), Alvin Jiang and Sean Tong (Co-Founders and Managing Partners, Boyu Capital), Bonnie Chan (CEO, HKEX), among others.

Private company visits hosted by senior leaders at China’s leading AI companies. Hosts include: Brian Gu (XPeng), Stella Li (BYD), Xu Li (SenseTime), Peter Wang (Hai Robotics), among others. Participants will also have networking opportunities with MiraclePlus (ex-YC China) early-stage founders.

Immersive experiences unlike what you’d get from conferences. From live flying car demos and humanoid robots to driverless taxis, drone deliveries, robotics-enabled manufacturing at scale, and travel on the legendary high-speed bullet trains – China’s technological prowess, made visceral.

Peer bonding with fellow EEs from around the world. Shared travel, company visits, and recreational programming across Shanghai, Hangzhou, Shenzhen (with an optional tour in Hong Kong on Saturday, November 14) will offer meaningful exchanges and lasting connections.
