Our line-up of senior speakers from business, academia and government will discuss the prospects for trade with China supporting post-pandemic economic growth, revitalising UK exports, and stimulating regional investment opportunities.
Indeed, China and the UK face many of the same challenges: rebuilding economic growth while making the transition to Net Zero, dealing with technological change, and addressing growing disparities in regional economic development.
Business links and trade and investment have a key role to play in tackling these challenges through the investment, technology and expertise they mobilise, helping to accelerate the transition to a greener economy, catalyse innovation, and tackle regional inequalities.
There has never been a better time to look ahead to the outlook for UK-China business, so make sure you join us for this opportunity to explore UK-China trade relations, the policy environment in both countries, and how UK businesses can capitalise on green trade and investment opportunities.
Centring on the theme of ‘Sustainable Trade and Investment in the Digital Age’, our full-day conference will explore the current state of UK-China trade relations, the policy environment in both countries, and how businesses can capitalise on green trade and investment opportunities in the post-Covid era.
