About EO Dalian
Located on the southern tip of China’s Liaodong Peninsula, Dalian is a major seaport, financial hub, and center for software development. EO Dalian brings together founders at the intersection of industry and innovation. Members lead ventures in maritime logistics, IT services, consumer electronics, AI applications, and advanced manufacturing. Dalian’s strategic location—facing the Yellow Sea and connecting to Japan and Korea—has long made it a trade gateway. But the city has also reinvented itself as a tech-forward economy, home to multinational firms and growing clusters of domestic startups. EO members here are deeply engaged in both global supply chains and digital transformation. What makes this chapter stand out is its global awareness paired with regional strength. Members understand international markets, but they build with the precision and discipline that has long defined northeastern China. Conversations in EO Dalian focus on scale, systems, and sustainable leadership. EO Dalian is a chapter for builders who are serious about execution. It is a community grounded in logistics, tech, and growth—designed for those ready to lead at a global level from a coastal Chinese base.
"EO is so much bigger than a monthly Forum meeting or a calendar of events. It’s a community that can change the way you lead, the way you run your business, and the way you live your life."

"The way that EO members want to help you in your personal life, the way they want to help you in your business, it's just the most amazing feeling. I absolutely love connecting with people across the world."
Wesley Naidoo, EO Durban"EO provides an environment for you to work on yourself through the help of others. Without EO, I would not be the leader I am today nor have the perspective I have today."
