GEPC at Tsinghua provided a profound and timely insight into China's dynamic economy and its evolving role in the world. The curriculum was exceptionally well-designed, blending enriching lectures from world-renowned professors with immersive visits to leading Chinese enterprises. This unique combination of academic rigor and real-world exposure offered invaluable perspectives for any senior leader operating on a global scale. Beyond the knowledge gained, the opportunity to learn alongside a diverse cohort of accomplished executives was equally rewarding. An unparalleled executive education experience.

GEPC gave me a first-hand understanding of China's economic growth dynamics and the several key organisations and industries contributing to it. The size, vision, innovation and strategies of these different organisations are indeed, very valuable models for the organisations I lead. The multi-venue structure of the program helped me to see and appreciate the various aspects of China – geography, culture, economy, people and even the work ethics and how it positively influences the global impact. The GEPC also provided a good networking platform with great minds and co-participants at the program. This will help foster collaboration and knowledge sharing at a global stage.

GEPC has been an eye opening and enriching journey with very bright minds in the form of professors, industry experts as well as classmates. Working in a Technology Multinational company of Chinese origins today present unprecedented challenges. GEPC has helped to provide a structured framework towards gaining insight on how to approach these unique set of challenges whilst providing a peek into what the exciting future holds from autonomous driving to metaverse. It has cemented my view that we indeed stand at a crossroad in history, and it is up to this generation to create better days for the next.

Joining the GEPC 2025 of Tsinghua University was a high-value professional as well as personal experience. The mix of formal academic modules introducing China economically, politically and culturally, with onsite visits and Q&A sessions with Chinese companies (tiers one, second tier and SMEs) allowed my 2 colleagues and I to start to have coherent hands-on insights about China. The exposure to different environments -tiers one cities, as well as more remote areas- provided a valuable vintage point for understanding the potential of a China strategy. Takeaways: China cannot be ignored, beginning of the journey to formulate our own China strategy, and short-term what conclusions and valuable implementations can we bring back "home" to our business…

Fantastic program in China, about China - shared and experienced with impressive executives from around the world. Our class came from France, Chile, Nigeria, Vietnam, Germany, the US and the UAE, Indonesia and many more. All student executives came engaged and eager to learn, to share and discuss their experiences, and to find about more about their place in the future and how that fits with China's place in the years ahead. Excellent program with top tier, engaging professors who love teaching, with dedicated and energetic staff who thoroughly enjoyed time with the executives, and meaningful, unique company visits with THE leading Chinese companies in the country (Alibaba, Huawei, Unitree, RedNote, among many).

The program's strength lies in its blend of theoretical knowledge and real-world application. Industry speakers provided firsthand accounts of successes and pitfalls in the Chinese market, while the diverse student body offered a global perspective on cross-cultural business practices. This immersive experience has not only enhanced my professional toolkit but also fostered lasting connections with fellow executives from around the world. GEPC has been transformative, equipping me with the additional skills and knowledge to continue thriving in China's dynamic business environment. It's a unique opportunity for any executive looking to expand their global business acumen.

In a world where we are seeing increasing speed of innovation and uncertainty, informed, adaptable, creative business leaders are crucial for an organization's transformational growth. We need to evolve traditional organizations into future-focused ones in order to lead them through this age of disruption. This is the key to organizational success today. GEPC brings us at the forefront of change, helps understand it deeply and develop initiatives in order to compete successfully and grow sustainably.

GEPC ensures a high level of academic rigor and expertise, unique locations across China, and a diverse, high-achieving cohort. Its world-class faculty provided me with the specific skills and knowledge I needed to understand China's fast growing economy and government policies. Company visits in Beijing, Hangzhou and Shanghai gave me a practical understanding of how businesses operate in China today and how they intend to build a competitive advantage in global markets in the upcoming years. During the course I met many successful leaders and entrepreneurs from various industries and cultural backgrounds. It created invaluable peer-to-peer learning, networking and friendship opportunities for all of us.
