The new office in Shenzhen includes a state-of-the-art Chocolate Academy Center, the third in China and the 23rd globally. Through inspiration, education and personalized support, the Chocolate Academy Centers enable artisans, pastry chefs, confectioners, bakers and caterers to create the chocolate delights of tomorrow.

The centers have recently hosted several online learning sessions in Mandarin on topics such as home baking, which have attracted more than 130,000 viewers since February 2020.
