New Zealand manufacturers are operating in a world where product
cycles, factory automation, and supply-chain decisions are being
rewritten at a pace most Western companies still underestimate. That
pace has a name: **China Speed**.
Join Rich Robinson for a focused webinar designed specifically for
Kiwi manufacturers. We’ll unpack how robotics, AI-driven production,
EV supply chains, and next-generation retail systems are actually
being built and scaled in Beijing, Shanghai, Hangzhou and Shenzhen —
and what that means for New Zealand companies that want to stay
competitive rather than reactive.
You’ll get a clear picture of the kind of deep-dive, curated immersion
tour that puts you in the room with the operators and innovators at
companies like Xiaomi, Galbot, Alibaba, Baidu and others — not as
tourists, but as peers. These are 1–2 week, 2–4 city programmes built
for people who make things and need to understand, first-hand, how the
world’s most dynamic manufacturing and tech ecosystems actually move.
