About NJX

Where technology, culture, and capital meet.

NJX convenes the people and institutions shaping the next phase of exchange between China and the world: investors, founders, universities, enterprises, cultural institutions, and government leadership. Our work is to open the network inside China, and to build durable relationships across it.

NJX is a year-round platform hosted along the Nanjing West Road corridor (南京西路) in Shanghai — the country’s most iconic commercial street.
