Baidu visit
«Honestly, I didn't expect much more than a standard tour from the Baidu visit, but they really surprised us. We work in big data and security, and there we actually had people to talk shop with — not generic talk about "innovation" but specifics: how they handle data processing at that scale, how they protect users, what security approaches they use. We sat down, went through real cases, asked questions, and got clear answers instead of brush-offs. 2.5 hours flew by. Ostap Dotsenko even managed to arrange a ride in a self-driving taxi for us — a real treat, not something you see in person every day. Great job by the Global Tech Tour team picking exactly the people worth talking to.»
Vasily D., Department Head
BYD factory & R&D center visit
«We visited BYD's factory and R&D center — honestly, a lot of impressions. I didn't expect to see the full production cycle on-site: from batteries to a finished car, all in one place, running like clockwork. We talked with people and management who are genuinely knowledgeable about the technology and localization — not box-checking managers, but people who understand the processes. We asked questions and got proper, detailed answers, no filler. As a small detail: the organization was so seamless that I never even thought about logistics — everything just happened on time, no delays or mishaps. Over two hours of conversation and demonstrations flew by like ten minutes. You can tell the attention to detail is real.»
Igor K., CEO, AvtoImportTech
Xiaomi factory visit
«As part of the tour, we visited Xiaomi's factory in Beijing — one of the strongest visits of the whole trip. The pace at which the company entered the auto industry and built production on par with players who've been in the business for decades was striking. We saw the assembly line and near-total automation firsthand, and talked with the engineering and production team — all substance, no fluff. Special thanks to Ostap Dotsenko for structuring the program around a real understanding of the processes, not a museum-style tour.»
Serik Kadirbayev, CEO, Shanghai Motors
Poizon (得物) visit
«As part of the Global Tech Tour expedition, we visited Poizon — it was fascinating to see firsthand how their product-authenticity verification system and resale-market logistics are built. The visit was organized at a high level: we got to talk with the team members responsible for the platform's development and got answers to specific questions about scaling the model to other markets. A valuable experience for rethinking our own approach to working with marketplaces.»
Daria Chernova, Head of Marketing Department, Megamarket (Sber)
Meituan visit
«The Meituan visit during the Global Tech Tour expedition was one of the most content-rich stops of the whole trip — the scale of their delivery and local-services operating model is impressive. It was especially valuable to break down how the company builds unit economics at that scale and how technology is integrated into every stage of the customer interaction. I want to separately note the professionalism of the Global Tech Tour organizers — the program was structured so we got a substantive dialogue, not a formal presentation.»
Egor Rozhkov, Head of Analytics Department, Megamarket (Sber)
Leju Robotics visit
«The Leju Robotics stop turned into a separate part of the program — it's a different city, so we had to detour from the standard route to Suzhou, but it was worth it. We saw how the company approaches humanoid robot development, from engineering decisions through to how their testing process is structured. We spoke directly with the technical team, and the questions were specific — about applying their developments in industrial scenarios, which is especially relevant for us right now as we're actively building that relationship, and Ostap's team is actively helping with it. What surprised us was how flexible their approach to building and deploying robots is, on top of having two factories with huge capacity.»
Alexander Tkachev, CTO, InzhTek Group
Central Kitchen Besta visit
«We visited Central Kitchen Besta as a full delegation. Their facility spans 20,000 square meters, and the entire path from raw ingredients to a finished dish is highly automated — you barely see any people on the production floor, it's all robotic. There's a dedicated baking shop, a meat-dishes shop — and it's remarkable how it all runs with so little staff and how quickly the process can be reconfigured. They also showed us the process control center, which looks like something out of a spaceship. It was organized smoothly, no rushing around, everything on schedule. Friends of ours from Uzbekistan, whom Ostap had previously helped organize visits to major enterprises, recommended him and his company to us — we were very satisfied.»
Kushan Satypbayev, Chief Technologist, GlobusFood (Kyrgyzstan)
Forum organized for Megamarket (Sber)
«We organized and ran a large-scale corporate forum for the Megamarket team — over 1,200 attendees, with a full cycle of preparation and on-site support: arrival and accommodation logistics for the delegation, venue and technical setup, and a business program with visits to relevant Shenzhen enterprises and meetings with local entrepreneurs.»
