Social:Sunrise International Education

From HandWiki

Sunrise International is a cross-border marketing and immersive media company with a specialization in the Chinese market and focus on higher education, VR/AR, and e-commerce industries. The company also operates an experimental education and extracurricular learning division based in China. It was founded in 2011 by Gavin Newton-Tanzer and David Weeks and was a member of the Columbia Startup Lab in 2014.[1]

Sunrise International is the local organizer of the Augmented World Expo (AWE) Asia, an annual virtual and augmented reality industry event typically hosted in China.[2]

As a media and marketing company, Sunrise International advocates for international brands to directly advertise on local Chinese media channels, citing issues surrounding the Great Firewall of China as a reason for why local users cannot access international social media platforms like Facebook, Twitter, Google, and Youtube.[3] The organization is occasionally quoted by international news outlets on various issues relating to VR/AR in China,[4] cross-border e-commerce in China,[5][6] education technology,[7][8] and issues surrounding international student mobility.[9][10][11][12][13][14] Early on in the COVID-19 pandemic, the company spoke on a number of occasions about the impact of the pandemic on international student mobility.[15][16][17][18] The company also co-hosts the Washington International Education Conference[19]

Sunrise's education activities consist of running competitions and conferences for students in East Asia, with a particular focus on debate, business simulation, coding competitions, and other summer programs. Its debate events are run in partnership with the National High School Debate League of China,[20][21] and Sunrise debate students often travel internationally to compete at debate competitions hosted at Stanford, Harvard, the University of Pennsylvania, and the Asia Society.[22][23][24][25] Sunrise's debate league is the oldest and largest high school English-language debate league in China, with competitions often hosted in second and third tier cities in China.[26][27][28] Its case analysis league is the China Youth Business League, run in partnership with the Harvard Undergraduate Economics Association[29] and the Wharton China Business Society.[30] Sunrise sponsors the international case analysis competition at the Wharton China Business Forum along with PricewaterhouseCoopers.[31]
