Episode Details

In this episode of Global Economic Press, Alex Brady discusses the transformative journey of China's automotive industry with insights from Hagai Gat, founder of Nugentis. Gat's newly published book, "China Automotive: From Tech Transfer Nation to Startup Super Nation," is now available in print on Amazon. The book explores how China has evolved from a technology importer to a global leader in automotive innovation. For more information about Nugentis, visit their website at Nugentis. Gat argues that the shift in China's automotive industry was not incremental but tectonic, with foreign manufacturers consistently misreading its speed and direction.

Drawing on over twenty years of experience in the Chinese market, Gat examines the policy decisions, capital flows, and engineering culture that have propelled Chinese companies to the forefront of the global automotive industry. The book covers key topics such as the electric vehicle transition, battery supply chains, and the emergence of software-defined vehicles. Gat's insights are further shared through Shifting Phoenix Academy, an education and training platform offering programs on the automotive and energy transition. A second book, "The Awakening Condor," focusing on market entry across Latin America, is scheduled for release in 2027.
