Company Remarks  

Modula

“In 2019, Modula (China) had the opportunity to share an experience with students from XJTLU. It was a very positive experience due to the attention the students paid to our products and to our current and potential markets. In a very short time, we received a deep analysis of: our Customers segmentation, the suitable media to ‘reach’ existing and new customers, and our foreign and domestic competitors. I hope we will have this opportunity again in the future since the first one has been very enriching to our staff.”

 WANOX

“The students did a preliminary investigation into our project. They elaborated on the final data to help us to choose the most convenient location and strategy for our company. The work they presented was well organized and easy to understand. All in all, we are very satisfied with the job done by the students. Given the good result achieved, we are very willing to cooperate again for other projects.”
