Companies can explore new business opportunities in Hong Kong and the Pearl River Delta at a free seminar at the Marriott Hotel in Swindon, 0930 – 1430 hrs on Thursday 19th November.
Hong Kong and China are among the first economies to emerge from the global recession. As growth resumes there are opportunities for UK companies in sectors including engineering, logistics , manufacturing, and construction; trading, environmental protection, creative services, hi-tech and financial services.
As well as being an important market in its own right, Hong Kong is an ideal entry point for overseas companies wanting to do business in the Chinese mainland. It offers a familiar framework for business, a unique set of institutional strengths, and unrivalled experience of doing business in China. Underpinned by the rule of law - based on English common law - Hong Kong is a level playing field for business, the freest economy in the world and a risk manager for companies new to the market.
Speakers at the seminar will be
Ms Sarah Wu, Director General, Hong Kong Economic & Trade Office, London
Mr Paul Thornhill, President of the Hong Kong-UK Business Forum
Mr Simon Tsang, Head of Technology Sector, Invest HK
Mr Mike Rundle. International Trade Adviser, UKTI
Mr Chen Wu, Assistant Director, China Britain Business Council
Mr Martin Evans, Regional Manager, Corporate Communications, HKTDC
This event is free of charge, but space is limited. Companies can register by contacting Karen Johnson on Tel: 020 7616 9500 or email: karen.johnson@hktdc.org.
