Chapter 01 — The Shift

While the world debates AI, Guangzhou builds it.

In 2014, electric vehicles were about 0.4% of China’s car market. By 2024 they were more than half. Guangzhou sits at the centre of that shift — intelligent EV makers, digital factories, a data exchange, and a port that has linked China to the world since the Tang dynasty. You can read about it. Or you can stand inside it.

From Mission to Implementation

You land home with more than photos: a stamped Executive Passport, your reflections, and the 90-Day AI Business Transformation Challenge that turns what you saw into measurable results.

The Executive Passport

Every mission stamps your passport.

XPENG. GAC. Baiyun Electric. The Guangzhou Data Exchange. The Port of Guangzhou. Each completed visit earns a stamp, XP and a place in your Executive Portfolio — evidence of learning you take back to your company.

Before you decide

Common questions

What executives ask before reserving a seat. Anything else on your mind — our Education Consultant Manager is one message away.

01Who is this mission for?

Managers, directors and business owners who want a first-hand view of how China’s leading companies apply AI, automation and platform strategy — and a concrete 90-day plan to bring it home.

02How does the HRDC claim work?

Select the HRDC-sponsored path during onboarding, upload your signed JD14, and our compliance team verifies everything in-platform. Your company is invoiced directly and receives the full claim documentation pack after graduation. Note: HRD Corp requires grant applications at least 14 days before training starts, so all registrations close 15 days before departure.

03What is included in the price?

Everything on the ground: company visits, facilitation, premium accommodation, executive transport, meals during the program, learning platform and credentials. International flights are arranged via our concierge at preferential fares.

04Do I need a visa?

Malaysian passport holders currently enjoy visa-free entry to China for short business study visits. Your concierge confirms requirements for your passport during travel preparation.

05What happens after the mission?

You graduate into the Borneoinspire Executive Circle: your Executive Learning Report, a 90-day implementation challenge, monthly alumni sessions and priority access to future missions.

06Can I get a refund if I cancel?

No — all fees are strictly non-refundable, because we commit flights, hotel rooms and ground arrangements the moment your seat is confirmed. If you cannot travel, you may transfer your seat once to a named colleague (airline or hotel name-change fees apply). If we cancel a programme entirely, you choose between a transfer to the next mission or a refund.

The delegation departs 24 Apr.
