Manufacturing as a
service for Europe

The Sino-European Industry Park in Huai'an provides European mid-sized companies with a fully equipped, AI-operated manufacturing presence in China — without requiring them to deploy capital. Tenants access competitive Chinese production costs, local market positioning, and pre-arranged distribution channels from day one.

Powered by the latest Chinese open-source AI models and Jiangsu's abundant low-cost electricity, our dark-light factories run with minimal human intervention — achieving unit economics European competitors cannot match from their home-market facilities.

Built on structural advantages

Three interlocking advantages that competitors cannot quickly replicate — and that underpin the fund's return thesis.

01
Land & Infrastructure

6.6 hectares of prime industrial land already secured in Huai'an District, with access to government-subsidised infrastructure, logistics corridors, and Jiangsu Province's industrial support network.

02
AI-Driven Automation

Dark-light factory operations using the latest Chinese open-source AI models for process control, quality inspection, and logistics. Minimal labour requirements drive structural cost advantages over conventional manufacturing.

03
Secure Market Access

Pre-arranged offtake channels and distribution agreements ensure tenant companies enter the Chinese market with existing demand — de-risking the commercial case and shortening the path to profitability.

04
Blended Finance

Access to low-cost, interest-bearing Chinese government finance alongside the €150M European fund creates a capital structure that optimises returns for LP investors while keeping tenant entry costs at zero.

05
Asset-Light Tenancy

European SMEs require no capital investment to access the park. Tenants pay operational fees against production output — aligning incentives and removing the balance-sheet barrier that has historically excluded mid-sized companies from China manufacturing.

06
Sino-European Bridge

Bridges Consultants B.V. brings deep expertise in both European institutional investment and Chinese industrial development — providing fund governance, tenant relations, and regulatory navigation across both jurisdictions.

The China-Europe
Investment Fund

A €150 million fund structured to mobilise European institutional capital alongside Chinese government finance — investing in the China-Europe Development Fund and the Huai'an Industry Park operations.

Compete in China.
Without the capital risk.

The park is designed to remove every structural barrier that has historically kept European SMEs out of Chinese manufacturing — delivering factory capacity, distribution, and AI-powered operations as a service.

Zero capital investment

Tenant companies access fully equipped, AI-operated factory capacity in Jiangsu without deploying any capital. No construction, no equipment procurement, no local entity setup costs.

Competitive unit economics

Low-cost electricity and open-source AI automation deliver production costs that match — or undercut — domestic Chinese competitors, enabling true market-rate pricing for tenants.

Made-in-China market positioning

Local production enables tenants to position products as manufactured in China — a critical commercial advantage for procurement by Chinese enterprises and government buyers.

Pre-arranged distribution

Secure market access through pre-arranged offtake channels means tenant companies enter with existing demand — substantially reducing the commercial risk of China market entry.
