THE UCBC TRADE MISSION

April 16 – 26, 2013

The April, 2013 UCBC Trade Mission is designed to provide specific information to small and mid-sized businesses (SMEs), to aid them in evaluating the opportunity and risk of doing business in China. China will be the world’s largest importer by 2014. It also has the second largest consumer luxury market accounting for over 20% of that sector’s global. U.S. designed and branded goods hold a special marque to the newly rich Chinese. Our primary focus is to help you be successful at developing the China market for your products, mitigate risks and take advantage of that massive consuming population. We will do this by providing a first-hand look at China - - its markets, manufacturing and distribution systems - - and to provide very specific and actionable knowledge, understanding and contacts. This mission also will provide experience to help you successfully navigate sourcing of material or components, manufacturing in China and tapping of China sources for inward investment in U.S. SMEs.
