Destination: Dalian!

This year’s China Conference 2008, held in the beautiful port city of Dalian, is nearly upon us.  As a continuation from last year’s conference in Shanghai, this year’s conference will focus upon providing the best opportunities to match global financial institutions and capital with the exciting growth of domestic Chinese enterprises.  With our 200 expected exhibitors, 300 Chinese private firms, over 2000 individual investors and institutional professionals, the China Conference 2008 promises to be the event for firms interested in a piece of China’s pie.  This year, we will also be hosting unprecedented one-on-one meetings between companies, professionals, and institutions.  Please visit our website for more information!

With the support of the Dalian Government, who, through the efforts of the Deputy Mayor of Dalian, are the co-host for the event, we will be attracting a large number of high quality companies from the region.  We are currently expecting over 300 high growth private business counterparts from various sectors such as resources, bio-technology, technology, and manufacturing not only from the prominent regions such as Guangdong, Beijing, Shanghai, but all across China, from Shanxi, Liaoning, Jilin, Zhejiang, and Hubei.  In particular, we will have a special focus on the promising auto and shipping industries in China, which have experienced great success in recent years.  These small-mid sized companies have an average annual sales figure of $20-30 million USD each and are prime targets for investment.

On August 28th, we held a highly successful press conference in our host city of Dalian with many media of a total of over 100 representatives in attendance. With two months left before the event, we would like to present the recent updates for the China Conference 2008 and as well as from our press conference:

With the support of TSX group, a new addition will be added to the exhibition hall this year. A CPC corner will be established in order to promote the viability of CPC acquisitions as an alternative to traditional IPOs. CPC companies have been invited to join us as we introduce the concept to the audience of high-growth private companies from China. Pre-arranged one-on-one meetings will be coordinated for all attending companies as a supplementary to facilitate the most efficient business match-making and China project development.

We are also proud to present this year’s China Conference Gold sponsor: China Zirconium Ltd.  As an international front-runner in the production of zirconium chemicals and related materials, China Zirconium Ltd. is a growing force in its sector.  With its recent listing on the TSX, China Zirconium is a key example of the strength of China’s industry.

We would also like to present Compass Technology Development Co., Ltd., and China Merchant Securities as this year’s China Conference event partners.  Compass Technology Development Co. is leading financial information in China.  As the “Chinese Bloomberg,” Compass operates 300 agencies and serves 120,000 subscribed individual and institutional investors.

China Merchant Securities, a subsidiary of China Merchant Group, is a top-10 securities dealer in China.  Being one of the first members of the Shenzhen Stock Exchange, China Merchant Securities is a respected member of the Chinese financial world.
