Essex International Information

Essex International is an Essex County Council initiative for the global promotion of Essex businesses and institutions, and a truly invaluable resource for Essex companies seeking entry into emerging markets. All Essex International programmes utilise the council’s strong network of global partners to facilitate export and investment opportunities in a variety of territories including China, India, and the European Union. For 25 years we have been helping the UK and China do business together. We focus on answering the question ‘is there a market in China for my product or service?’ and then we concentrate on introducing you to interested Chinese buyers. We use our China knowledge and network of contacts among Chinese businesses and government departments to help our clients meet decision-makers that are interested in buying their product in particular. Essex International also manages the long standing East of England-Jiangsu partnership on behalf of Essex, Norfolk and Suffolk County Councils, helping businesses, schools, universities, vocational colleges, museums, cities and regions develop profitable partnerships. We also organise government-to-government study and training programmes to help UK and Chinese professionals exchange best practice. Every year we bring hundreds of Chinese business visitors to Essex and the East of England and our work boosts the East of England economy by £3.48 million in Gross Value Added, the equivalent of 34 full-time jobs, annually. We help: - Businesses looking for Chinese exports or investment - Local authorities/Cities/Government departments wanting to link with China - Schools and HE/FE institutions wanting to form strategic partnerships in China - Specialist training organisations wanting to help develop Chinese professionals To find out if there's a market in China for your product or service, get in touch http://essexinternational-en.org/contacts Find out more: http://essexinternational-en.org/
