Sourcing
Mission to Canton Fair (Chinese Export Commodity Fair)
(Guangzhou) |
 |
| |
Thinking
about outsourcing, DIT supply chain solution, having products made
or direct import? You can have it all in the ChinaLink Sourcing Mission
to the Canton Fair. Claimed to be the biggest export commodities Fair
in China, the 80 thousands exhibiting companies and their products
are all there for you to see, choose, bargain and order. We partner
the Fair organisers to support our mission members and a bilingual
market consultant or market manager will be with you through out.
The Fair is divided into two consecutive phases (different product
profiles) with a 4 days break so you would really need to stay for
one phase. For those do stay for the whole duration, our optional
pre-arranged visits to manufacturing bases will be a value added bonus. |

China Business Club (UK) Meeting
(Liverpool or London)
Setting-up businesses in China |
|
| |
Setting
up business operations, representative offices, joint ventures and
wholly own foreign enterprises is much easier than many would think.
Our presentations and case studies will dispel the myth and explain
the required preparations, demonstrate the cons and pros, and show
you the exact procedures. Heavy topics, but if global competitiveness
is your concern it should be in your diary. |

factors of operating successful business in overseas: location, location,

Sourcing Mission to Canton
Fair (Chinese Export Commodity Fair) (Guangzhou) |
|
| |
Our
second Sourcing Trade Mission to visit Canton Fair. If you missed
the Spring Canton Fair, this is your opportunity. Too late for the
Christmas sale though. The arrangement and support are pretty similar
to the Mission in April but one thing is different. October is the
best weather to visit China, so-called the golden autumn. The selected
cities and towns for visiting between the two phases will be different
to those in April. |

Beijing Olympics (2008) and Guangzhou Asia Games (2010) |
|
| |
The
sport industry and sport market are relatively young but both thriving
on the back of Beijing and Guangzhou winning the rights to host the
Olympics and Asia Games. Contrary to some 'expert' opinion, the sport
and related sport infrastructure market is still hungry, expanding
and developing for cutting edge products, technologies, sport events
and services while manufacturing of sport goods are of high quality.
Those who made it to the market with our help or on their own will
share with you the secret of their success and how to pinpoint the
opportunities. Funding package in helping qualified companies to promote
their services and products to the mission will be available. |

British Sports & Leisure and
Infrastructure Mission & Seminar (Beijing)
(Opportunities of Beijing Olympics 2008) |
|
| |
First
stop of the Sport Mission - Beijing. Beijing Olympics is only 2 year
away. The Trade Mission and the funded Seminar will probably be you
last possible opportunity to look at the market. Well if it is too
late sell anything or promote anything to the Games, what about the
post-event service market? Our Beijing office and partners are in
good positions to support whatever you do. Perhaps it is time to select
a hotel and book the tickets before moving on to the second stop |

|
| March 2006 |
British Sports & Leisure and
Infrastructure Mission & Seminar (Guangzhou)
(Opportunities of Guangzhou Asia Games 2010) |
|
| |
Second
stop of the Sport Mission - Guangzhou. Asia Games is probably the
largest sport event at a continental level. The scale of the Games
is only second to Olympics. With a new International airport, new
underground network and the new regional partnership with Hong Kong,
Guangzhou is one the very few candidates rivalling Beijing and Shanghai
as economic engines of China. Four years before the Asis Games, it
is certainly the right time to call. |

| March 2006 |
British Biotech & Pharmaceutical
Mission & Seminar (Shanghai) |
|
| |
The
leading edge technologies of British companies in the sectors have
been one of the successful stories of UK China trade and investment..
The Mission is again coupled with a trade seminar of which qualified
companies will receive UKTI funding support through ChinaLink. |
