Having assessed the opportunities in China for your products and services, you will need to visit the market. CBBC can assist you in choosing the most effective way to do this, either as part of an organised group or as an individual.

UK Trade & Investment* support a comprehensive programme of trade missions, exhibitions and seminars in China. Visiting China as part of an organised mission or exhibition enables you to join group meetings that might not be available to you as an individual.

CBBC Trade Missions & Exhibitions
CBBC has organised more than 200 trade missions and exhibitions to China and is responsible for the co-ordination of many of the UK Trade & Investment* supported missions and exhibitions, all of which have a specific sector focus. CBBC will ensure that your visit to China is tailor made to match both your individual business objectives and those of the group.

We will offer you the opportunity of participating in group calls on senior officials and leading Chinese enterprises, as well as setting up individual business meetings through Overseas Market Introduction Service (OMIS). A pre-visit consultation and briefing in the UK allows you to play a pro-active part in the development and focus of the visit. You will benefit from the support of an experienced Mandarin-speaking CBBC mission manager throughout your visit.

CBBC's high profile in China and extensive knowledge of the China business environment provides you with the opportunity to:

• meet influential government and industry officials relevant to your business
• have tailor-made one-to-one meetings with appropriate Chinese business contacts
• obtain vital advice and introductions via CBBC's local staff
• network with British government and Chamber of Commerce contacts based in China
• have the support of an experienced CBBC mission manager with China expertise

Support for non-CBBC Trade Missions & Exhibitions
As well as organising its own trade missions and exhibitions, CBBC works closely with many mission and exhibition organisers to provide China expertise. We can offer a range of support services including brochure production and the arrangement of business meetings for individual companies. For participants in exhibitions in China, CBBC can arrange for pre-confirmed targeted business meetings to take place on your stand. We can also offer assistance with translation and print work, liaison and interpretation.
