Tech Dragons of Asia: Pre-Mission Delegation Explores China's Innovation Ecosystem

This week, the Benelux Chamber of Commerce had the pleasure of welcoming the pre-mission delegation for the "Tech Dragons of Asia" mission, which will bring more than 40 C-level executives from Belgium's manufacturing sector to Greater China in March 2027.

Working closely with Sirris-Agoria, the delegation explored a number of leading innovation ecosystems and technology companies to help shape the programme for next year's mission.

In Shanghai, the delegation visited ABB Robotics, one of Europe's leading industrial robotics companies, before meeting with representatives of AI Plaza in Xuhui District to exchange views on Shanghai's rapidly evolving AI ecosystem and opportunities for future collaboration.

The programme then continued in Hangzhou, where the delegation was welcomed by Dahua Technology for a tour of its impressive 2 km² smart manufacturing campus, followed by a visit to BrainCo, whose pioneering work in brain-computer interfaces and intelligent bionic prosthetics continues to attract global attention.

We are grateful to all our partners and hosts for opening their doors and sharing valuable insights. It is a privilege to support Sirris-Agoria in building connections with some of China's most innovative companies, including one of Hangzhou's renowned "Six Little Dragons", and we look forward to the full Tech Dragons of Asia mission in March 2027!
