About UK-China Business Connect

There has never been a better time to build your business profile in China. The challenge to traditional modes of doing business represented by Covid-19 has had a transformative impact on how Chinese and UK companies engage with the global marketplace. A historical emphasis on ‘real-world’ connections, face-to-face meetings and a guarded approach to international partnership has given way to an invigorated, fast-moving digital business culture.

The UK’s Department for International Trade (DIT) has launched UK-China Business Connect to enhance the UK's digital business presence in China. This platform enables UK companies of any size to raise their in-country profile, promote their products and services to potential partners, engage in seamless B2B matchmaking, and offer an alternative route to the world’s top growth market.

Registration will also facilitate access to more than 100 on- and offline activities delivered by DIT in both the UK and China throughout the year, from webinars and panels to trade shows and matchmaking events, giving members privileged access to the latest information, insight and resources.
