SMU Academy Internationalisation Series: Tech Opportunities in Shenzhen


With ambitions to become the technology capital of the world, Shenzhen is home to some of the biggest tech companies in the world, for example, internet and gaming giant Tencent, telecomunications firm Huawei and smartphone maker ZTE, as well as, the world’s largest drone maker DJI and robot kit maker Makeblock.

Do you want to partake in the rise of Shenzhen?

Join us in this upcoming trip to Shenzhen as we explore the technology space in Shenzhen, learn from the best-in-class, and network with business people.
