6-Day Shanghai & Hangzhou Digital Economy & E-commerce Tech Tour

Destinations: Shanghai, Hangzhou

Tour Features:

This cross-city journey connects Shanghai's global digital service and startup ecosystem with Hangzhou's reputation as the home of China's e-commerce revolution, making it extremely flexible for both business delegations and student groups. For corporate visitors, we focus on platform operation logic, digital supply chain, live commerce models and B2B service cases. For student groups studying business, entrepreneurship or computer science, we shift the focus to startup stories, low-cost innovation and hands-on e-commerce simulation workshops. We schedule a relaxing West Lake boat cruise and local Hangzhou food experience to balance packed business sessions. Our programme separates parallel sessions when needed so business executives can hold closed-door meetings while students join maker activities. The route can be shortened to 4 days by removing incubator time, or extended to add a visit to smart manufacturing parks in Jiaxing or Ningbo.

Target Group: Mixed groups - corporate business teams (digital commerce, supply chain, retail innovation) AND student entrepreneurship / business study groups

Highlights

• Headquarters visit to cloud computing and enterprise digital solution firms
• Guided Alibaba campus tour and digital economy showcase
• Startup incubator pitch session with local young founders
• Smart retail and digital logistics demonstration
