China moving up the Value Chain, London 21 Sep 2009

Schmittzehe & Partners has teamed-up with Chopsticks Business and Chatham House to host a series of three panel discussion events in 2009. This is the second of these events.

China moving up the Value Chain at home and overseas: how and will it work?

When: Monday 21 September
Where: Chatham House, 10 St James’s Square, London SW1Y 4LE

"Made in China" has long been associated with low value and low quality. However, with a newly found fervour, a rise in the number of creative entrepreneurs and government-led emphasis on innovation, China is set to shift from being a producer of cheap goods for export to emerge as a creator of quality goods of increased value and design. Will these goods and services be aimed at the domestic market? Which brands have international aspirations? What challenges do Chinese organisations face to be recognised internationally and will they manage in the competitive, international market-place?

Panellists include:

*Stephen Clarke, Vehicle Systems - Global Product Group Director
*Sue Bishop, former Head of the Centre for Global Finance, University of Nottingham Ningbo (until Dec 2008) and British Consul-General Shanghai 2003-2006
*Benjamin Schmittzehe, CEO, Schmittzehe & Partners China Advisory
*Neil Blakeman, Chairman, Neil Blakeman Associates
Time: 13.30 for registration. 14.00 - 17.00 panel introduction and debate and including networking and refreshments.
