Open mandates

Projects looking for their partner. In both directions.

China projects going out. Overseas projects coming in. Each one verified, anonymized until NDA, and run on the Trail with SilkNet in the room. Expressing interest costs a partner nothing.

Mandate 01 · MobilityWindow closes 21 Dec 2026

A self-balancing two-wheeler platform is looking for its partner overseas.

An engineering firm with 33 granted patents and two prototype rounds behind a two-wheeler that holds itself upright. The chassis, the control system and the factory network exist. The brand, the home market and the overseas side of the programme are the open seat.

How a mandate works

Verified, unnamed, on the Trail.

The holder engages SilkNet on a fixed mandate fee plus a success fee at signing. We write the mandate, verify every party that steps forward, and run the deal to signature — names appear only after both sides have signed an NDA.

Bringing a project into China?

We work with project owners, industrial parks and local programmes across China — some with subsidies on the table for the right partner. Entering mandates are listed here as they open; until then, tell us the project and we open the first room.

Manufacturing

A production line placed in a park that wants it

Land, incentives, entity, the line specified in Chinese, IP kept yours. The park picks you; we make sure it's the right park.

Brand & retail

First locations, or a brand into the market

Trademarks first, licences mapped, landlords and platform operators introduced in the order that saves a year.

Technology

A Western technology that needs a Chinese partner

Listed groups and industrial companies with a mandate to license, build or distribute — matched, verified, under NDA.

None of these fit exactly? Tell us the project in your own words — a first conversation costs nothing.
