China speed is reshaping engineering. Shorter product cycles, rising customer expectations and intense market pressure require companies to move faster, localize smarter and scale with confidence. This executive event in Shanghai, hosted by RÖDL together with Ansys, explores how digital engineering can help turn market pressure into measurable business impact, without compromising quality, control or global standards.

What to expect

 

China does not wait. Markets move faster, customers expect more, and product cycles are shorter than ever.

This is not theory. It’s a reality check from the field.

You will hear insights how leading companies:

  • cut time-to-market by double digits
  • adapt global engineering to local China speed
  • avoid costly design iterations and physical prototypes
  • scale operations without losing control over quality and standards
