About: China is the world’s second largest economy and the largest measured on a purchasing power basis. With over 100 cities of more than a million people, there is a fast-growing business and consumer market. China’s economy, therefore, offers huge potential for London scaleups looking to expand into Asia. Join the Mayor’s International Business Programme (MIBP) China to support your business to expand to one of the fastest-growing economies in the world. In conjunction with our main programme, this free 12-month initiative will consist of a mix of focused events, virtual meetings, panel sessions, mentoring, roundtables and exclusive connections to top corporates and investors – all individually tailored towards your expansion plans in China. Gain world-class support and advice for your international business success, including bespoke, on-the-ground support from our team in China, alongside our market and industry specialists. Companies join the programme in cohorts, giving you a unique opportunity to collaborate and share knowledge with others across key sectors.
