Opportunities For UK Businesses In China's Regional Cities

---

Join us at February's event, held in partnership with CBBC and UKTI, to gain an insight into the ongoing growth of China's regional cities.

The focus for many British companies in China continues to be in a small number of large and familiar cities such as Beijing, Guangzhou, Shanghai and Shenzhen. However, business conditions in these cities are evolving quickly. In particular, numerous British companies are experiencing mature and increasingly saturated markets in these locations, with only niche opportunities for development, and growing competitive pressures from other foreign firms and increasingly sophisticated Chinese companies.

The report - Opportunities for UK Businesses in China’s Regional Cities - presents findings of research conducted in 2011 by CBBC and the Centre of International Business at the University of Leeds for and on behalf of UKTI. This event will discuss the compelling findings from the report and guide companies on how to engage with business opportunities in China’s emerging regional cities. Following the presentations and networking sessions, you can book a one to one meeting with an industry or market specialist, to discuss the potential opportunities for your company in China.

To book your place, please email events@cbbc.org.

All members should reference 'emita' to qualify for free of charge attendance.
