We take Chinese hard-tech companies from domestic product-market fit to regulated overseas execution through SCO channels, local operators, and project-level market access.

Dr. Li Wencheng
PhD/Founding Partner

Active Channels
European Compliance Corridor
Selective EU work for companies that already have traction in China or Eurasia and need certification, channel partners, or pilot customers rather than generic 'global expansion'.
