Visit China's new remanufacturing zone
From 10 to 14 March 2018, David Fitzsimons will be in China with remanufacturing businesses. This could be your opportunity to make links with senior Chinese industrialists and policy makers.
As costs rise in traditional centres like Beijing and Shanghai, this visit turns the spotlight on a little-known city that is set to become the region relieving the development pressure on Beijing. Look up Hejian City on Google Maps and you will wonder why it is worth visiting. It is about 200km from Beijing airport and linked by high-speed train, but more importantly it has the political support for new infrastructure to guarantee massive new growth in the next five years.
There is still space left on this visit for more companies from the UK and the rest of Europe, but only if the decision to take part is made in the next two weeks. It will be an opportunity to meet Mr Gao Yun Hu, General Director at the Ministry of Information and Industrial Technology (MIIT) as well as Mr Huang Shen Biao from the Ministry of Science and Technology, and several other senior local officials and industrialists; the most senior people are listed below.
The new Hejian Industrial Park is to have an area reserved exclusively for remanufacturing and is to offer competitive pricing and support packages. David will be there to sign two Memoranda of Understanding and to meet with friends from the recently reorganised National Key Lab which is to move to Hejian City from Beijing.
