This five-month program selects qualified China-based applicants of all nationalities working in different companies, industries, and with varying experience levels. The program is designed to recognize professionals with profound insights and strategic practices within the manufacturing and supply chain industry, empowering candidates to thrive in China’s dynamic business landscape.

About the Program

The Navigator Program is an exclusive, high-profile, five-month program developed by the AmCham China MSSC Committee. Its aim is to prepare the future generation of manufacturing and supply chain leaders and professionals who are keen on exploring success strategies to drive industry growth. This year, the MSSC Committee at AmCham China aims to select 15 to 20 of the most suitable candidates to participate in the program.

Candidates of the Navigator Program will gain comprehensive exposure to the US-China business community, particularly within manufacturing and supply chain sectors. Each month, there will be a 1.5-hour session covering topics such as operational excellence, industry 4.0 and digital transformation, localization partnerships, future energy strategies, etc. Successful candidates will be awarded a “Manufacturing & Supply Chain Navigator Program” certificate of completion at the End of Program Gala Dinner in September 2024.

“The Navigator Program isn’t just about what you learn; it’s about who you meet. The chance to develop deep relationships with international leaders in the field is invaluable. The networking opportunities alone are worth the investment.”
