DBTs China catalogue
Companies with an interest in exporting to China are invited to submit entries for a catalogue that is being prepared by the Department for Business and Trade’s office in Beijing, responsible for promoting both exports and Chinese investment into the UK. A first edition is already published, with around 60 firms listed. UK Advanced Engineering - Capacity Catalogue is an initiative from DBT’s Beijing office. The catalogue is highlighted to potential customers in China and to embassy staff. The first edition is online here.
The entry and Chinese translation, if required, are free of charge. Companies should provide a logo, one or two photographs and a short description that is tailored to the Chinese. It would not, therefore, be appropriate to include products or services for which an export licence would be refused.
Firms will also have the option of having their entry included in a planned Digital UK Pavilion, hosted by Sumec Technology, a state-owned business which has supported Chinese exporters over the past 30 years and has a massive database of SMEs.
