In an era of unprecedented business challenges and rapid technological change, Simayue has announced an innovative leadership development program that combines historical wisdom with cutting-edge AI training. The "AI Long March" initiative, launching in January 2026, aims to help business leaders develop resilience and strategic thinking by retracing China's famous Long March route while receiving practical AI implementation training.
The Power of Long March Spirit in Modern Business

AI Implementation for Competitive Advantage
Complementing the historical insights, the program features intensive workshops on practical AI applications for business growth. Participants will receive training from AI experts on:
- Mastering AI tools to enhance operational efficiency
- Implementing AI solutions for specific business challenges
- Developing AI-driven business models for new revenue streams
