UK Design Companies Explore China’s Potential

by Jeff Squires

With more than three million engineers due to graduate from Chinese universities between 2005 and 2010, China’s flourishing design industry could potentially be worth more than £3 billion.  To capitalize on that, the UK Trade & Investment has selected 12 UK companies to represent all the UK has to offer and help foster future relationships.

The Birmingham Post writes:

The China design task force, which represents some of the best in British design, will host seminars and participate in conferences in Shanghai, Beijing, Wuxi and Guangzhau from October.

The 12 companies will highlight the strength of UK design and ultimately share intelligence with the British design community through direct training and marketing activities.

The role of UK designers in China is expected to grow as China’s economy continues to move toward selling more and more sophisticated products and services - highlighting the growing importance of branding.
