Sports, Shenzhen's new bridge to the world

What happens when a Premier League giant meets Shenzhen’s smart manufacturing?

On one side: BYD partners with Manchester City, using a world-class football IP to accelerate global brand expansion.

On the other side: Etihad Airways makes a major move into Shenzhen Peng City FC — international capital placing a strong vote of confidence in the “Shenzhen opportunity.” Shenzhen enterprises are shifting gears — from “exporting products” to “exporting brands.”

International IPs are landing locally. Shenzhen brands are breaking through globally.

Sports is becoming Shenzhen’s new bridge to the world.
