"A Road Map for Exporting to Greater China and Asian Markets" Webinar
"A Road Map for Exporting to Greater China and Asian Markets" web seminar is intended to educate U.S. manufacturers, small business enterprises, agricultural exporters, economic development executives and trade officials on the promising opportunities in China and Asian markets. The session offers key factors and knowledge you need to know about exporting US-made products and services to the Far East market.
Overview: . U.S. exports to China grew 32% from 2005 to 2006, 240% since 2000. China is not just a source of imports; it is also a large and growing market for U.S. exports. California, with record exports in 2006 of $9.97 billion, Washington with $6.8 billion, and Texas with $6.6 billion lead all states in the export race to China. While many U.S. companies desire to grow a brand name in this lucrative market, most do not have the local marketing or cultural knowledge to get established in the Chinese environment. This WEBINAR will help you better understand the challenges and opportunities presented by Great China and Asian markets.
Topics: Opportunities and challenges in China and Asian markets; Selling U.S. products and services; Leading sectors for U.S. export; Logistic and finance; Trade regulations and requirements, Legal considerations; Chinese and Asian business protocol; Key cultural issues; and Export assistance and resources.
