Bridges
The places where Chinese and international AI already meet — and where the directory will hold roundtables and gather data. Judged, wherever they are, by Europe’s rules.
The places
Singapore
Where Chinese labs, Western clouds and Southeast Asia’s own models meet. Many Chinese AI companies run their international headquarters here; the AI Verify Foundation and SEA-LION give the region its own voice on testing and models.
Gulf (UAE, Saudi Arabia)
Sovereign AI budgets that buy from both sides: Western chips and Chinese models, Chinese data-centre builders and Western integrators. Deals here often preview what reaches Europe a year later.
Germany
Where Chinese AI meets Europe’s industry first: driver-assistance permits, humanoid distributors, dealer networks, Frankfurt cloud regions. Our home turf and the densest part of the map.
Portugal and Spain
Production and robotaxi tests: Stellantis plants building Chinese cars, Chinese driver-assistance in the cars, Web Summit in Lisbon as the yearly meeting point.
What a bridge page will carry
Companies from the directory present there, with sources. Partnerships signed there. Nothing here is a claim about a market; it is a list of documented presences, like every other page in the directory.
