A focused week inside the two-hour supply chain — for operators, founders and buyers who need to understand, source from, or build on the world’s most complete manufacturing ecosystem.
The Greater Bay Area builds a third of the world’s goods within a two-hour radius. This tour takes you into it — the markets, the factories, the prototyping houses — with people who know how it actually works.
Whether you’re sourcing, benchmarking, de-risking, or planning to manufacture, you’ll leave with a working map of the ecosystem, direct relationships, and a realistic sense of cost, speed and quality.
Supply-chain and operations leaders who need a first-hand, current picture of sourcing and manufacturing.
Builders who want to understand cost, speed and the path from prototype to production.
People backing hardware who need to judge feasibility and de-risk the build.
Every tour is tailored, but here's how a typical week unfolds.
Orientation and a briefing on how the ecosystem is structured — and how to navigate it.
Into the component markets where anything can be sourced — fast.
See an idea become a physical sample in days, not weeks.
Inside factories — lines, quality, and how volume actually works.
Apply the week to your own sourcing or build, with the right introductions.
A feel for the week — the places, the people, the pace.
“We de-risked an entire hardware roadmap in a week — and came home with suppliers we’re still working with.”
Tell us who's coming and what you want to get out of it, and we'll put together a tailored proposal.
