The European Union Chamber of Commerce in China is delighted to invite you to an afternoon seminar on China Goes West on June 28th at the Kerry Center Hotel.
While the cities of China's eastern seaboard continues its rapid rise into the international spotlight, a visitor who ventures further west may be surprised at the difference between these parts of the same country.
However, as living standards - and living costs - escalate in areas traditionally favoured by business, the West is also becoming more and more apparent as a source of immense opportunity.
Responding to this trend, Roland Berger Strategy Consultants has recently conducted a study on Western China and its opportunities for foreign companies in China.
This seminar will shed some further light on the emerging market places of West China, and look at the European businesses that have already discovered the benefits of operating in these more unfamiliar territories.
Speakers
Jason Ding, Partner, Roland Berger Strategy Consultants ( bio)
