If you’re joining the East Midlands China Business Bureau and UK Trade & Investment visit to Southwest China and Shanghai in October 2010 to explore the significant business opportunities, you might want to invest in some translation and typesetting to make sure that your business cards and literature create a professional impression.

Taking in the Shanghai World Expo 2010, the visit will also explore the opportunities presented by Chongqing and Chengdu, two pilot cities for indutrial, economic and financial reform with enormous purchasing power and strong government links with the East Midlands.  Despite the global economic downturn these cities have enjoyed GDP growth of 31.2% and 14.9% respectively.

We hear that qualifying companies can receive funding of up to £750 to help meet the costs of the visit.  Find out more about how to get involved here.
