Great to bring together friends and postgrad founders from Tsinghua, PKU, TUM, LMU, Stanford, MIT, Berkeley, Harvard, ETH, and more for a closed-door German-China-US founders session in Shenzhen.
\nWe talked about creating this kind of forum years ago. Glad we finally brought it to life, despite the political barriers that nearly stopped it from happening.
\nIn a world actively pulling itself apart, it is up to individuals to keep crucial connections and conversations intact.
\nSpecial thanks as well to @Airwallex for supporting the event, and to Ken @Stealth for generously lending us your amazing open-floor office.

It drew over 600 attendees across academia, industry, and business, including investors and entrepreneurs.
\nAhead of the main event, 19 OpenClaw Builders shipped 30+ frontier projects with live, deployable demos and real performance data, alongside the global debut of the first-ever OpenClaw Build Report white paper.
\nMy points focused on the technological impact of large-scale, real-world AI agent environments, how \"claw\" agents move from demo to genuine enterprise deployment, and current bottlenecks that limit their abilities to fully productionization. A packed room, strong technical depth, and real appetite for putting agent technology to work in production.
\nA great milestone for the ecosystem, and an exciting sign of where AI agents are headed.
