Chinese Federal NDRC Tour
The Central San Francisco Innovation and Sustainability Tour was commissioned by Boeing China for the 2012 NDRC Executive Development Program. The theme of the National Development and Reform Commission (NDRC) visit to the Bay Area was Leadership through the Stages of Innovation. UIX Global worked with Boeing China to develop a program whereby NDRC members were introduced to key institutions and managers that are actively driving innovation ecosystem models for new technology and economic development in the Bay Area. As an extension of this program, UIX Global also arranged for the NDRC delegation to tour the Redwood City headquarters of Silver Springs Networks, a Smart Grid and smart metering pioneer.
