As a world frontrunner in optics and optoelectronics, ZEISS Group set foot in China 69 years ago. It invested 1.2 billion yuan ($177 million) to build its Greater China headquarters campus in the China (Shanghai) Pilot Free Trade Zone this year.

Frank Xie, chief operating officer at ZEISS Greater China, shares how the company has grown so quickly in Shanghai. "Our rapid growth here has benefited greatly from Pudong's remarkable speed of development."

With China emerging as a key global R&D powerhouse, ZEISS no longer views the Chinese market merely as a sales base. Instead, the group aims to deepen local collaboration and jointly develop cutting-edge technologies that will drive industrial advancement worldwide.
