Business Immersion to China
An impactful immersion to Beijing & Shanghai
In October 2025, The Global Exec. and 16 CXOs from Czechia and Slovakia embarked on a business immersion to Beijing and Shanghai to explore China’s dominance in e-commerce. During their week-long immersion, participants met with inspirational businesses ranging from MNCs, retail & e-commerce firms, tech giants, startups, FMCGs and accelerators. Additionally, they connected with leaders who helped their companies achieve global recognition through innovation, customer-centric approaches and strategic decision-making. They also experienced China’s rich cultural heritage, visiting iconic landmarks and gaining a deeper understanding of the market’s unique context.
A rundown of the immersion
-
A decade ago, China accounted for less than 1% of the global e-commerce market; however, today, it’s the world’s largest e-commerce market, increasing its global market share to more than 40%. In fact, China’s dominance in e-commerce and m-commerce is so pronounced that the country now handles more transactions per year than France, Germany, Japan, the United Kingdom and the United States combined. Chinese users are also pioneering industry developments, driving innovation and coming up with the latest technologies.
