A small cohort of founders. Real company visits. The Canton Fair. Shanghai, Shenzhen, Guangzhou. Six days inside the rooms your competitors can't reach — with GATE86 in every room.
This is the inaugural GATE86 Industry Tour — five founders, three cities, six days. Deep Tech. AI infrastructure. Robotics. And the world's largest trade fair: Canton.
You won't be sitting in presentations. You'll be in labs, on factory floors, walking the Canton Fair floors with context no one else has — and in rooms where engineers and executives talk candidly about what they're building and why.
Price includes all accommodation, meals, in-country transport and GATE86 facilitation across all 3 cities. International flights not included.
Apply for Edition 01 →Click any day to explore the programme. Every access is pre-negotiated. Every briefing is sector-specific.
The tour is deliberately small. Every seat is assessed — not to be exclusive, but to make sure every founder in the room is worth the others' time.
This is Edition 01. There are no past tours to point to — and that's the point. The founders who join the inaugural cohort are the ones who won't wait for someone else to go first and report back.
No past editions to reference — just the founders who move first.
Tours run twice a year, each built around a specific sector. Edition 02 covers Energy & CleanTech (Oct 2026). Edition 03: Advanced Manufacturing (H1 2027). Tell us your sector below and we'll reach out when yours opens — no pitch, no drip.
