The China-Britain Business Council’s relaunched UK Investment Conference will highlight the vital role Chinese investment plays in the UK and provide a platform for prominent Chinese companies to share their experience of investing in the UK.

With increasing complementarity between the needs of the UK economy and the technologies and expertise of Chinese businesses, we are entering a new era for investment from China into the UK. This, coupled with the instalment of a new UK Government following the recent General Election, provides further impetus for us to highlight the important role Chinese business plays, and must continue to play, in the UK economy.

Our headline speakers will include senior representatives from the British and Chinese Governments as well as CBBC’s members and major Chinese companies from EV, batteries, renewables, financial services, and consumer industries.
