欢迎大家! This is the place where creative connections, booming business and fun friendships are made between China and the West!

China isn't rising anymore — it's arrived.

中国是新的世界超级大国. Whatever your feed is telling you — AI breakthroughs, robotics, gold-medal ambitions at the first Robot Olympics 🤖🥇 — the signal is the same: China is now a defining force in the global economy. And yet, for most of the world, meaningful connection to it remains out of reach.

That's the gap we exist to close.

Many Chinese professionals in London have deep expertise but limited access to local networks, decision-makers, and business openings. Meanwhile, most Western professionals want to engage with China but don't know where to start. Between these two worlds sits enormous untapped opportunity — and almost no bridge to cross it.

Our China-London Connectors events are that bridge.

For our Chinese community in London, it's a space to build relationships with local entrepreneurs, tap into UK business networks, and find genuine partners for joint ventures. For London's international business community, it's your fastest route to sourcing Chinese suppliers, meeting investors, and staying ahead of the trends shaping China's next decade.

What to expect at this premium networking evening:

Connect with exceptional business owners and entrepreneurs actively expanding into new markets

Exchange cross-border resources, introductions, and opportunities

Pitch your offering to a room of ambitious, like-minded professionals

Enjoy a relaxed, elevated setting where real business gets done — and real relationships are built

📍 Location: Peacock London — a stunning Chinese restaurant in one of the city's most iconic settings, right on the Thames beside the London Eye and facing Big Ben.

Peacock London, County Hall, The Queen's Walk, Westminster Bridge Road, London, SE1 7PB
