HANGZHOU INTERNATIONAL TRADE FAIR

West Lake Expo

The capital of Zhejiang Province, Hangzhou has become the flagship of rapid economic growth and entrepreneurial success across China. With China's accession to the WTO, it is the aim of Hangzhou Municipal Government to further promote the city in the global market. The West Lake Expo attracts visitors and exhibitors from far and wide to explore business opportunities. In 2001, the Expo attracted over 6,000,000 visitors. Representatives from 37 countries exhibited including a contingent from Leeds, which is twinned with Hangzhou. The entire Expo was extensively covered by over 300 media providers from both China and overseas, and sales value exceeded £50 million.

The 2002 Hangzhou International Trade Fair creates an ideal opportunity for overseas companies to find trade leads and potential partners for future co-operation. We, at ChinaVentures, would like to bring this excellent opportunity to you and have organised a accompanied trade mission to coincide with the Fair.

You can either exhibit at a very competitive cost or we can act as your representative.
