Sponsorship Opportunity: Breakfast Briefing Series

Information is invaluable in China’s ever-evolving business environment. Companies constantly have to stay abreast of changes to China’s regulatory, political, and foreign affairs that might inhibit their ability to do business here. 

CBBC is seeking corporate and venue sponsors for our new breakfast briefing series featuring senior figures from business, government, media, and academia. Attendees will be invited to compare notes on how they appraise the challenges faced by their business while seeking to grow their operations in both scope and scale in China. 

Taking place bi-monthly and alternating between Beijing and Shanghai, CBBC hopes to provide a forum where senior decision-makers can confidentially impart their knowledge of any developments in business-critical areas. 

CBBC will invite ambassadors; business leaders from leading British, US, European, Chinese, and Japanese firms; and thought leaders from China’s leading universities and business schools to attend as guests. They will be accompanied by executives from a cross-section of leading CBBC member companies. 

Sponsors will have the opportunity to recommend speakers and agenda items as well as present their latest research as a dedicated agenda item.

Examples of Topics & Themes

Each breakfast will pick up on a business-critical aspect of current affairs. From regulatory hurdles to supply chain disruptions, geo-political tensions to domestic political affairs, we will source authoritative voices from within China to brief your company on what the news means for you:

For example:

• China's new cybersecurity regime – the Personal Protection Law and the Data Security Law;

• Supply chain disruption – building resilient supply chains by drawing across a companies' broader regional presence;

• Geo-political tensions – conflict, sanctions, and the anti-foreign sanctions law;

• Multilateral trade – ASEAN, the RCEP, and the CPTPP;
  
  

• R&D in China – the Science and Technological Progress Law and the 14th Five Year Plan;
  
  

• Domestic politics – 20th Party Congress and the dawn of a 'New Era.'  
  

*Members are also encouraged to offer suggestions on potential future topics and themes.

Case Studies

On 23 August 2019, the China-Britain Business Council (CBBC) launched our new Premium Member Breakfast Briefing series in Shanghai with inaugural guest speaker Chris Wood, HM Consul-General Shanghai. 

During the briefing Chris shared his views on EU/UK relations with China, particularly Shanghai and Eastern China, and his thoughts on his new position. He spoke about China-UK business relations and addressed the key concerns of our Premium Members.

On the 10th September 2019, CBBC held the first of our Autumn/Winter Premium Member Briefings at Caixin Meida’s Beijing office. Mr. Erji Gao, Vice President of Caixin Media, provided premium members with a thorough overview of Chinese and international Small Capital Enterprises and their impact on China’s economy, using intelligence collected through Caixin’s Data Express App. He provided business intelligence from small businesses to large enterprises, uses international case studies to demonstrate the opportunities that SMEs hold for foreign investors in China.

CBBC holds Business Breakfast on February 2nd 2018 in Shanghai with Secretary of State Dr Liam Fox MP, during the visit of The Rt Hon Theresa May MP, Prime Minister of the UK on her state visit to China. The breakfast was held prior to the China-UK Business Forum, and provided a platform for business interaction between UK and Chinese companies.
