Shanghai Takes Up the Club: The “Liu Lian Cup” 2026 CTE Tournament Golf Championship Concludes Successfully with Its Second Stop


On July 8–9, the second leg of the “SIXUNITED Cup” 2026 CTE Tournament golf championship, titled “Two Balls and One Night,” kicked off in Shanghai. Co-hosted by Intel and SIXUNITED, the event was attended by a leadership team that included Bao Xian’an, Director of CTE Business for Intel’s Client Computing Group in China; Yan Tao, Technical Director of Intel’s Client Computing Group in China; Xie Haibing, Technical Director of Intel’s Application Design Department in China; and Zhang Kaichun, CTE Business Manager for Intel’s Client Computing Group in China. Elite partners from Intel’s CTE ecosystem gathered at two premier golf courses—Tianma and Sheshan—to strengthen bonds and deepen collaboration. With every swing of the club, there was not only focused composure on the course but also trust and seamless synergy built through joint ecosystem development.

 

Following the 2025 “Liu Lian Cup” held in Zhuhai, the 2026 edition of the tournament has moved to Shanghai, bringing Intel CTE ecosystem partners together once again through collaboration. From Zhuhai to Shanghai, what spans is a city; what endures is an ecosystem; what passes from one stage to the next is the event itself, while what deepens is the spirit of synergy. As a key engine driving China’s AI industry, high-end manufacturing, and technological innovation, Shanghai provides an even broader platform for technical exchange, industrial collaboration, and co‑creation of value among ecosystem partners. Hosting the 2026 CTE Tournament golf championship here not only sustains the event’s brand influence but also underscores Intel CTE’s ongoing journey of uniting partner strengths and advancing a path of shared prosperity across the industry.

Following this, guest representatives jointly performed the opening tee-off ceremony. With the swing of the club, the white ball soared into the air, officially launching the tournament. This moment marked not only the start of the competition but also the beginning of a gathering in Shanghai—a celebration of camaraderie, ecological collaboration, and shared development.

Between holes, bursts of applause and words of encouragement echoed as teammates exchanged insights on technique and shared market observations during breaks, where competitive intensity and collaborative synergy intertwined seamlessly.

 

 

On the field, everyone is both an opponent and a teammate. A round of applause after a brilliant shot, a candid piece of advice shared, or a heartfelt exchange along the way—all these moments elevate the competition beyond mere sport, forging a vital bond that deepens understanding and strengthens mutual trust among ecosystem partners.

For technological innovation to reach the market and for product capabilities to translate into customer value, deep mutual trust and collaboration among ecosystem partners are essential. This event is not only a vibrant golf tournament but also a platform for Intel CTE ecosystem partners to strengthen relationships and deepen cooperation.
