The SPARK Global Exchange Programme is the first of its kind in Southeast Asia, that enables businesses, trade and industry associations, local and foreign governments, to visit the world’s most innovative cities and discover the innovative companies that power them.
The best ways to learn about digital transformation journeys and discover how countries are leapfrogging economic growth through digital, is to experience it in person.
SPARK Global Exchange offers a new way for business and government leaders alike, to learn from the success of other organisations, by being on ground zero and meeting the very people who’ve made it possible.

SMART CITY & GOVERNMENT
Beijing, heralded as China’s preeminent metropolis, stands as the vanguard of digital technology innovation and smart city evolution, seamlessly intertwining cutting-edge advancements in artificial intelligence, data analytics, and connectivity.
China’s pulsating heart of tech innovation, where leading firms across various sectors are embracing state-of-the-art technologies. From big data to AI, disruptive technologies are reshaping the city’s business landscape and propelling the global economy forward. With initiatives like the Wanxiang Innovation Energy Fusion City and strong university-industry partnerships, Hangzhou stands as a prime example of cutting-edge tech adoption and innovation leadership.
Transformed from a historic trade center to a global finance and tech hub, excelling in artificial intelligence, green technology, and the digital economy. Its iconic skyline mirrors this economic and technological surge. Balancing modernity with rich cultural heritage, Shanghai fosters a dynamic ecosystem of innovation and sustainability.
After over 40 years of development, Shenzhen has started from almost zero foundation, with weak technological infrastructure, scarce scientific and educational resources, and a shortage of scientific and technical talents. It has moved from the previous stage of following and industrial innovation efforts to the current stage of leading and originating innovative breakthroughs.
