This initiative specifically aims to equip the future changemakers in wealth with critical insights into technological advancements shaping the industry.

During the trip, the Wealth Summer Interns visited leading technology and professional services companies, including Tencent Cloud, Archforce Technology and Accenture Shenzhen Innovation Hub. These visits offered unparalleled cross-cultural exposure to industry leaders and fostered a broader understanding of emerging trends within the GBA. The Summer Interns gained firsthand insights into cutting-edge technologies and the companies' business models and operations, deepening their understanding of Shenzhen's fintech ecosystem. The trip also provided invaluable opportunities for networking through direct interaction with industry leaders, offering new perspectives and possibilities for future development.

Vicky Kong, Head of Wealth, Asia North and Australia, Citi, said, "At Citi Wealth, we believe that investing in talent and cultivating tomorrow's leaders is paramount to our success and long-term vision.
