This is an invitation to a business forum on China. If you cannot see this email properly, please click here.

he pace of change in China is unprecedented in world markets. But keeping on top of the issues is essential if Europe is to fully capitalise on the economic development in the Asian region.

The Pearl River Delta - directly to the north of Hong Kong - is China's most successful economic region.

Hong Kong is China's and Asia's most international city and the nerve centre for many of the region's most successful businesses.

Superb location, business friendly environment and a multinational talent pool have made Hong Kong a centre for developing, financing and trading products, services, ideas and technology in Asia.

Southern China has played a major role in this success, offering low cost production facilities for some of the world's best-known brands. Boasting double-digit growth rates for the past decade, this region is now China's largest export region and home to its wealthiest cities.

Tailored to opinion formers, business multipliers and ambitious companies - and focusing on Hong Kong's pivotal role in bringing European companies to China - this free forum brings together some of the leading experts in China business for a vigorous and open debate.
