Hot Opportunities for Automotive Components in China’s
Emerging Dynamic Markets

 

Webinar
August 2, 2007
7:00-8:15 pm ET

 

China’s emerging, dynamic markets represent great potential for American exporters, and in particular suppliers of automotive components. Yet, these second-tier cities are often overlooked as firms rigorously pursue hubs such as Beijing, Shanghai and Guangzhou. 

 

The US Commercial Service will hold a webinar intended to educate U.S. automotive component suppliers on the promising sales opportunities in China’s dynamic emerging markets, why they are critical to long term market penetration plans, and how to best approach these markets.

 

BONUS: The US Commercial Service China has recently completed a 23-page market research report on the automotive sector in China’s second-tier cities. This market research report will not be released to the general public until January 2008. As a participant, US firms will receive this report FREE of CHARGE at the time of registration.

 

 

DATE: Tuesday, August 2, 2007
TIME: 7:00-8:15 PM EST/6:00-6:15 PM CST/4:00-5:15 PM PST
PLACE: Your personal computer
COST: $50 (cost includes webinar fee AND 23 page market research report on China’s automotive components industry)
