8 Hours Ahead

8 Hours Ahead is a venture growth organisation that builds the China businesses of international tech companies. We are demonstrating that the world’s best technology can solve truly global challenges, in China and around the world, for us all. For many international tech companies, China is an important market. In fact, to many, China represents at least 30% and in some cases over 50% of their global market. Successfully operating in China still represents a significant challenge - having a China strategy is a MUST for any emerging and truly global leader. 8 Hours was established to solve this challenge. We partner with leading global tech companies to Co-Found their China businesses – managing market entry, structuring, investment, commercialisation, government relations, team building and operations. We operate a demand-driven model, focused on solving some of China’s key remaining challenges across the Healthcare, Energy & Environment and Industry 4.0 sectors.
