Shenzhen executive delegation programmes
Delegations with a purpose.
Private Shenzhen programmes for chambers, trade missions and senior leadership groups. Built around a shared business question.
01 — The programme logicMember value · Executive learning · Cross-border context
Prepare the room.
The brief determines the conversations, route and readout. Seniority and relevance matter more than group size.
Participant and host fit
Match participants and objectives to relevant hosts.
The city around the room
Link business conversations to products, design and city culture.
A closing group readout
Turn observations into hypotheses and follow-up questions.
02 — How Futurebound worksPersonally shaped · Independently hosted
One cross-border host.
Eric X.D. Tan, former executive at Riot Games, Sony Music and EA, hosts in English, Cantonese and Mandarin. He shapes the questions, context and readout.
Other languages require an agreed interpreter. Interpretation and translation are quoted separately.

Not the product
Guaranteed access, paid introductions, routine supplier sourcing, a high-volume group tour or an implied government, chamber or company endorsement.
03 — ScopingLead time · Protocol · Language · Movement
Scope first. Payment last.
- A pre-arrival scoping session with the chamber or mission lead
- A participant profile and shared programme thesis
- Company or industry requests made only after fit is understood
- Transport, protocol, interpretation and privacy scoped explicitly
- A confirmed programme and final fee approved before payment
Allow 8–16 weeks for a complex delegation. Group size, transport, protocol and language affect the fee. Hosts are confirmed only after written approval.
