The choice of Shenzhen: A hub of innovation

One of the milestones in my career was my time at HuaweiTechnologies, one of China’s leading tech giants. However, it wasn’t just the opportunity at Huawei that drew me to Shenzhen — it was the city’s incredible energy.

Shenzhen is a magnet for talent nationwide, a true innovation powerhouse!

When founding my own consulting firm, SageSight, Shenzhen naturally became my base. Having spent most of my career in the Guangdong-Hong Kong-Macao Greater Bay Area, I have a strong grasp of the local business environment.

Geographically, Shenzhen’s strategic location — just a short train ride from Guangzhou or Hong Kong — makes it incredibly convenient for business. It’s a highly centralized area that offers rich opportunities for growth and collaboration.
