Shanghai is the ideal location for WPIC to continue its “Growth Partner” approach.

“Leading international brands and top talent choose Shanghai because it represents a master mix of creativity, finance, lifestyle, and technology. The city manages to combine top universities and refined elegance with audacious innovations and confident urban lifestyles. Welcoming to foreigners and new ideas, Shanghai still maintains its unique character and respect for history and local rituals. WPIC is confident that it can add to the tradition of ‘Wonder Made in Shanghai’ by supporting the continued growth of global brands in China and the empowerment of Shanghai digital and commercial talents,” said Mr Cooke.
