In support of the increasingly close economic ties between China and the UK, Think London developed a dedicated campaign to work with Chinese companies to help them learn about and capitalise on the business opportunities arising in London.
The campaign, which started in August until November 2008, consisted of the following two components:
-
Think London in Beijing -
the London House: during the Beijing 2008 Olympic and Paralympic Games Think London
ran a high-quality business programme meeting with international and Chinese corporates. Our
business events were held at the London House, which was London's official presence in Beijing
for the 2008 Olympic Games.

The Road to
London: after the Beijing Olympic and Paralympic Games Think London embarked on a
three-month road show through 11 Chinese cities. In each location we hosted business events,
combined with a series of 1:1 business meetings. The route started in Beijing, going to
Tianjin, Qingdao, Ningbo, Hangzhou, Shanghai, Wuhan, Chengdu, Chongqing, Guangzhou, Shenzhen, and
ending in Hong Kong in November 2008.
If you are a Chinese business who would like to know more about London as a business location, please let us know. We have an office in Beijing who specifically deal with Chinese businesses looking to expand.
