From policy in Beijing to finance in Hong Kong, manufacturing in Xi'an to technology in Shenzhen, Tetr Pathfinder is more than a summer camp or summer school experience. It's ten weeks inside the industries that run China, in the cities that built them, alongside students from some of the world's top schools.
Whether you're drawn to entrepreneurship, technology, policy, or culture, Tetr Pathfinder puts you in the room where it happens. Identify opportunities, test ideas, and build an AI product inspired by what you see, culminating in a final pitch presentation in Shanghai.
Itineraries are indicative and subject to change.
Everything you've seen across ten cities leads here, to a venture you've built yourself. Your team will identify a real-world problem, develop an AI-powered solution, and bring it to life with seed funding and guidance from experienced mentors. Then, in Shanghai, you'll pitch your venture to a jury of founders, investors, and industry leaders. The winning team walks away with a $10,000 venture grant.
This isn't a classroom assignment. It's your first shot at building something that could go further.
