China and Japan are among UK’s largest trading partners. The Japanese economy is the second biggest in the world, and its companies are renowned for their high quality products. China has moved from the being the world's manufacturer to an R&D powerhouse in its own right, and is set to topple Japan from its number two position. Add to this Taiwan who are positioned to provide elements of the ODM/OEM model for both Japanese and Chinese companies as well as brand leading products.
These markets offer great potential to UK companies wishing to grow their international business, and although certain similarities exist in terms of culture, the business approach and etiquette required in one market is quite different to the other. The challenge for UK SME's is further compounded by the fact that today's value chains are now global, and China and Japan are trade partners as well as supplying into each other's value chains.
Join this event to hear 'real' stories of UK companies that have taken on the challenges that these markets pose. Whether you are entering one of these markets for the first time, or have already engaged one but are looking to enter the other, you will find this event will arm you with the relevant information to consider your new market entry. In addition, interactive Q&A will give you the opportunity to ask the market experts questions relevant to your business. As usual, this half day event will also provide excellent networking opportunities.
The day will be structured with presentations on a case study-basis, followed by interactive panel Q&A and optional one to one consultations. This event is FREE for all to attend, so please book now to secure your place!
