The Marco Polo Drive

Join us for a relaxed evening celebrating the landmark conclusion of The Marco Polo Drive

This summer, Pi member, Patrick Zhong, co-founder of The Marco Polo Drive with Professor Jeffrey Sachs, embarked on a ground-breaking expedition retracing Marco Polo’s 750-year-old route from Rome to Hong Kong, travelling 15,000 kilometres across 12 countries entirely by electric vehicle. Along the way, the journey brought together voices from across cultures and industries to explore global economics, technology, cultural heritage, sustainability and the evolving relationship between East and West. Join us to relive this remarkable expedition with Patrick through first hand storytelling and exclusive never‑before‑seen film highlights captured along the route.
