Chinese New Year Breakfast in Slough - South China Market Outlook 2012

Friday, 13th January 2012

A South China market special organised by BCC LinkToChina and UK Trade & Investment with TVCC on Monday 30 January 2012 at Regus, Slough

• With special presentations by UKTI team leaders in Guangdong and Hong Kong
• China market review of 2011 and outlook for 2012

With the uncertainty of the European market heightened by the Euro crisis in 2011, the question about China’s ability to continue its role as the main engine for growth globally in 2012 has been raised.

• Is the cooling of Chinese property market in 2011 a sign for the success of anti-inflation policies or a pre-curser for a property slump?
• Will the Chinese stock market bounce back in 2012 from its downward trend in 2011?
• What may be the new changes on the cards for Chinese market and how should British companies prepare for them?

Thames Valley Chamber of Commerce Group, together with UKTI and BCC LinkToChina, will co-host this breakfast seminar with Slough Borough Council, one of the national strategic partners of the LinkToChina programme. Chief Executive of the Council, Ruth Bagley, will open the seminar.

The seminar will feature presentations by a panel of experts, followed by a Q&A session on the China market, including:

- ‘Developing business opportunities in Southern China’ – Bob Manning, Head of UK Trade and Investment, Southern China, British Consulate General Guangzhou – ‘Developing business opportunities in Hong Kong’ – John Woodruffe, Assistant Trade Commissioner, British Consulate General Hong Kong – ‘China Market Outlook in 2012’ – Dr. Kegang Wu, Chief China Adviser for the BCC and Executive Director of LinkToChina Programme

There will be networking time over breakfast.

The BCC LinkToChina programme is entering its second year of operation, with a number of projects already successfully matched. Further announcements will be made at the seminar about the programme of activities which are designed to help more UK businesses and locations to work with China.
