Unlock growth
through China’s
untapped innovations
We help Retail companies identify and adapt China’s business innovations to create sustainable growth and competitive advantages in Western markets
Why China’s Innovation matters
China is no longer just a manufacturing powerhouse—it's an innovation laboratory where consumer engagement, digital integration, and business model experimentation happen at unprecedented speed and scale. Many of tomorrow's global standards are being shaped today in the Chinese market, yet most Western businesses struggle at identifying which innovations offer genuine potential in their markets.
Intel-led Consulting bridges this gap. Based in China with deep experience in Western markets, we combine on-the-ground access to China's innovation ecosystem with the strategic and cultural fluency to translate what works — and why — for your business.

We provide end-to-end support for testing and scaling adapted innovations in your market, from concept development to commercial implementation.

OUR LATEST THINKING
Reverse Innovation Redefined
The term "Reverse Innovation" once described cost-effective solutions flowing from emerging markets to the West. That paradigm is obsolete. Today, the most sophisticated consumer engagement strategies, advanced digital ecosystems, and breakthrough business models are emerging from China — creating unprecedented opportunities for Western companies willing to look beyond manufacturing efficiency.
Our latest article explores what this shift means for Western retail leaders, and why the window for competitive advantage is narrowing.
