Register Now: UK-China Business Connect Platform

Building on the success of the business matching digital platform that was launched during the China International Import Expo (CIIE) 2020, the Department for International Trade (DIT) has just launched UK-China Business Connect to support UK companies who are looking to connect with buyers and improve their digital presence in China. 

This platform enables UK companies to register for free and raise their in-country profile, promote their products / services to potential Chinese buyers and partners, engage in seamless B2B matchmaking, and offer an alternative route to the world’s top growth market. UK company profiles will appear on the Chinese-language version of the website, which is optimised for the Chinese social media environment. For example, Chinese users can register for the platform through WeChat.

Registration will also facilitate access to multiple 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 access to the latest information, insights and resources.
