On June 10, Lead Intelligent welcomed a delegation from the Part-time MBA (PTMBA) program at ESMT Berlin, one of Germany’s leading business schools. As a global leading new energy intelligent manufacturer, Lead Intelligent was selected as a key industrial site for the program’s international field study, providing a platform for in-depth discussions on global expansion, operational excellence, and industrial innovation. The visit served as a bridge connecting European business thinking with China’s manufacturing expertise.
Founded in 2002 by 25 global industry leaders—including Siemens, Bosch, Mercedes-Benz Group, SAP, Allianz, BMW, and Deutsche Bank—ESMT Berlin has built a strong reputation through its close ties to multinational enterprises and world-class research. In the Financial Times European Business School Rankings 2025, ESMT ranked No. 1 in Germany and No. 12 in Europe.
The visiting executives all bring extensive leadership experience from leading global companies. Their study tour to China was designed to gain first-hand insights into the development model and innovation ecosystem driving China’s advanced manufacturing sector.
During the visit, the delegation toured Lead Intelligent’s manufacturing facilities, gaining a first-hand understanding of the company’s advanced manufacturing capabilities, technological innovations, and global business footprint in the new energy equipment sector. The visit offered a vivid perspective on the engineering excellence and innovation that underpin China’s high-end equipment manufacturing industry.
At the roundtable session that followed, Mr. Wang Lei, CEO of Lead Intelligent, welcomed the delegation and shared the company’s experience and vision for global growth. “The true value of technology lies not in being ahead of others, but in enabling our customers to achieve intelligent manufacturing at scale and with greater efficiency. That has always been the principle guiding Lead Intelligent—both in Europe and across our global operations.”
The two sides engaged in lively discussions on topics including innovation-driven growth, global operations, organizational transformation, and emerging industrial trends. Participants shared perspectives drawn from their international management experience, while Lead Intelligent’s leadership team responded with practical insights from industrial applications. The exchange reflected a meaningful convergence of ideas across different cultural backgrounds and industrial perspectives.
The visit left a lasting impression on the delegation.“From production line details to global strategy, Lead Intelligent has presented a completely new picture of China’s advanced manufacturing capabilities. This practical learning experience is more compelling than any business case study,” remarked an ESMT professor following the roundtable discussion.
Participants agreed that the visit provided valuable insights into China’s industrial development. At the same time, Lead Intelligent’s long-term commitment to the European market offered a tangible example of how industrial collaboration between China and Europe can be successfully realized.
For decades, Germany has been regarded as a global benchmark for precision manufacturing and industrial excellence. Against this backdrop, the visit by experienced executives from one of Germany’s premier business schools carries symbolic significance. It reflects not only a growing international appreciation of China’s manufacturing capabilities and technological progress, but also demonstrates that Chinese intelligent manufacturing companies have developed the technological strength, engineering expertise, and management capabilities required to engage confidently with the world’s leading industrial enterprises.
As a leading new energy equipment manufacturer rooted in China with an expanding global presence, Lead Intelligent remains committed to integrating into the global industrial ecosystem with an open and collaborative approach. This exchange not only highlights the company’s growing international influence but also provides a compelling example of deeper industrial collaboration between China and Europe in the field of new energy equipment.
Looking ahead, Lead Intelligent will continue to drive innovation, strengthen its global operating capabilities, and deepen collaboration with partners worldwide throughout the global energy transition, contributing to the high-quality development of the new energy equipment industry.
