Responding to the rise of China…

How can Manchester increase trade and investment with China?

Download the Working Paper: Increasing Manchester’s Connectivity with China (729kb)

China had a growth rate of 8.7% in 2009, in spite of the current recession, and is developing into an economic leader, reshaping the global economy. Manchester businesses are ideally placed to benefit from these opportunities and a new working paper is to be launched to discuss the possibilities. Your attendance is key to driving forward these thought-provoking findings.

Key conclusions were presented by the authors, Li-Hsia Chan and Juan Gomez, including those relating to:

• The current level of connectivity between Manchester and China;
• Recent trends in, and influences on, China’s outward investment activity; and
• How Manchester can leverage and build on trade and investment activity, local authority, education, tourism and leisure activities to leverage and increase its connectivity with China.

In addition to the presentation by the authors, the event featured a response to the paper from John McMuldroch, Glaisyers Solicitors LLP, together with a panel question and answer session with prominent players in this field.
