Yale EMBA Student Studies China Innovation at Fudan With 50 Peers During 1-Week Exchange

2 articles · Updated · Yale Insights · Jul 31

More than 50 students — including nine from Yale’s EMBA program — joined Fudan University’s 1-week Global Network Week course on “Dynamic China: Innovating in a Global Economy” in Shanghai.
Site visits to Freshippo, Nio and enterprise AI firm OpenPie shaped the student’s main takeaway: companies in China need cultural fluency as much as technology, data and cloud-driven business models.
Classroom work and company meetings also highlighted how China’s fast-moving EV and AI sectors could influence overseas development plans and industries including oil and gas.
The exchange extended beyond class through cross-school teamwork, networking and travel in Hong Kong, Macau, Beijing, Chengdu and Zhangjiajie, leaving the participant with broader views on technology, culture and future opportunities.
