Shenzhen Post-Trip Partnership Opportunities
You Shi Fang (优食坊蒸鲜) — RCEP Seafood Sourcing + Co-Branded Steam Dining
A smart steam-dining leader positioned to scale across RCEP through a premium “Fresh from the Water, Live at Your Table” concept. Partnership angle: work with top seafood suppliers across ASEAN, Japan, and Korea to source premium live ingredients more efficiently, and launch exclusive co-branded regional tasting menus that showcase each market’s signature flavours—marketed through targeted social campaigns in key cities.
Rong Shu Jia AI TCM Wellness (榕树家AI中医药养生馆) — Localised Preventive Wellness Powered by AI
A next-generation wellness model combining Traditional Chinese Medicine (TCM) with AI-driven personalisation—focused on preventive care and root-cause health. Partnership angle: co-develop an app feature that maps local flora and dietary habits in each RCEP country, translating “TCM” into familiar, locally relevant guidance. Activate growth via partnerships with regional KOCs (Key Opinion Consumers) to document real user journeys and build trust market-by-market.
META Immersive Experience (机遇时空全感AV乐园 / X-META) — Scalable VR/AV Entertainment for RCEP Cities
A full-sensory immersive VR and audio-visual destination integrating interactive arenas, 360° theatres, spatial audio, and social metaverse environments. Partnership angle: expand with a dual-track strategy—RCEP city pop-up activations (e.g., Singapore, Kuala Lumpur, Bangkok, Jakarta) to drive trials and media buzz, plus a cross-border digital membership/token system that unlocks content, points, and priority access across countries. Monetisation can span B2C ticketing and B2B corporate team-building packages.
