A hosted innovation week in China's Greater Bay Area, built for postgraduates, young founders and gap year students. Inside the labs, factories and campuses making robots, driverless cars and passenger drones. You leave with a written first move, not a souvenir.
Adults aged 18 to 30 in the UK, Europe and the US. Three reasons to come, one method. You have plenty of information already. What you have not had is first-hand sight of where the work is heading.
A career direction and real contacts in robotics, AI and life sciences, from the people actually building and hiring.
Suppliers, manufacturers and partners, and proof of what is possible before you commit money to it.
A structured, formative week among peers from around the world, and a story worth telling when you get home.
Anyone can arrange a trip. Our value is the framing before you go and the translation after. Every person leaves with a Next Move Brief, one page, written for you within two weeks of coming home.
You pick a track before you travel. The access is the same. What we point it at is not.
For anyone building something, or about to.
For anyone choosing a field or a first step.
Drawn from our July 2026 tour. Your running order is shaped around your cohort and track, so it shifts. The kind of access does not.
Meet the cohort and set the theme for the week. An evening briefing on what to look for and why it matters.
Humanoid robots on the factory floor, and the service robots already working in restaurants and hospitals.
Inside an electric vehicle maker, then a ride across the city in a driverless robotaxi.
Stand under a pilotless aircraft built to carry people, and meet the low-altitude economy China is building first.
Inside genomics, where the cost of reading a genome fell faster than the cost of computing.
A mentored day in a makerspace. Design, build and ship a small project of your own, with 3D printing and the tools the frontier runs on.
Time for the city, the culture and the people. On the July tour, a typhoon rewrote this day and it became the best one.
A debrief on what each person is taking home, then the journey back. The trip ends. What it started does not.
Both run 8 days across the Greater Bay Area, fully hosted with Novula, framed before you go and made sense of when you return. Dates are indicative and confirmed with you before you commit.
AI, life sciences and what comes next. Applied AI, robotics and the genomics labs rewriting the cost of medicine, with a hands-on build day. Our first open cohort for young adults.
After exams and results. The main departure for postgraduates and gap year students, following the July 2026 proof tour. Founders welcome on the Build track.
of Gen Z adults aged 18 to 29 seriously considered starting a business in the past 12 months, against 27% of all adults.
students deferred their university place in 2025-26, about 6.4% of offers. Most fund the time themselves.
Visa-free entry to China for UK and most EU passports, in place to 31 December 2026. US travellers get full visa support.
Scoped to the cohort and departure. We confirm a full quote on a short call. Groups of four or more and one sponsored seat per cohort are available.
Each step is small, and none of them commits you to travel.

A 20 minute call with our team, and a chance to ask anything, including the questions you would not put in a form.
