Why Suzhou?

Once famous worldwide for its classical gardens, Suzhou is now reshaping the industrial landscape under the name “Oriental Silicon Valley” —

Ranked first for eight consecutive years in the national-level Economic Development Zone comprehensive evaluation
National leader in competitiveness of the biopharmaceutical industry
Industrial output value of AI and nanotechnology applications exceeding 100 billion RMB
Strategic hub for Chinese enterprises’ “going global” initiatives

From a “manufacturing factory” to a “global innovation source,” Suzhou Industrial Park has written a 30-year epic of urban transformation: nearly 200 Fortune Global 500 companies have gathered here, 21 STAR Market-listed tech companies have been incubated, and unicorns such as Innovent Biologics and CStone Pharmaceuticals have emerged, along with tech giants like iFlytek and Tongcheng Travel. When biopharmaceuticals meet AI large models, and green technology collides with marine communications, the most cutting-edge industrial revolution is unfolding here!

Special Support

With the strong support of the Suzhou Industrial Park Administrative Committee, Harvard alumni entrepreneurs, and alumni enterprises—including SailGlobal, a global one-stop HR service platform for overseas expansion, and Xiyi Medical, an expert in pharmaceutical overseas solutions—this breakfast meeting will be upgraded into an in-depth industrial exploration journey, focusing on three key tracks:

Biopharmaceuticals (home to global Top 10 pharmaceutical R&D centers)
Artificial Intelligence (National New Generation AI Innovation Development Pilot Zone)
Tech Going Global (a bridgehead for Chinese enterprises’ internationalization)
