Key outcomes include:
-
Support for establishing Skyport’s manufacturing operations in China, with assembly and R&D continuing in France to maintain technological excellence.
-
Agreement to anchor a bilateral innovation bridge through a joint science park initiative between Shanghai STVC Group and Sophia Antipolis Technopole, facilitated by Skyport.

Skyport’s international strategy is firmly aligned: Manufacture in China, assemble in France, and deploy globally. This mission not only advanced that vision—it elevated France’s tech diplomacy.
To honor the 60th anniversary of France–China diplomatic relations, a symbolic gift was offered to Micah by Mayor Chen Qunwei of Jiaxing and has since been formally presented to the French Presidency. A letter of recommendation has also been issued by the Élysée, acknowledging Skyport’s role in representing France at the highest level.
Skyport continues to build bridges—not only between continents, but between vision and realization.
