I am delighted to have been appointed the UK Co-Chair of the TBBC and extremely excited at the prospect of developing further the UK Taiwan business relationship. Membership consists of a core UK Steering Committee comprised of senior businesspeople from major UK businesses active in Taiwan. We will also have Associate Members who will be kept informed of TBBC activities and economic matters relating to Taiwan. I would like to offer my deepest thanks to my predecessor, Martin Barrow, for his valuable contribution over the last 5 years and I am pleased that he has agreed to retain his membership Sir Thomas Harris, Co-Chair TBBC UK Steering Committee.
The 10th Joint Meeting of Taiwan Britain Business Council will take place in Scottish Enterprise in Edinburgh, Scotland on 16-17 June. The Taiwan Britain Business Council (TBBC) was set up to promote and advance bilateral trade and investment between the UK and Taiwan. The Council consists of senior businessmen who meet formally once a year, alternately in the UK and Taiwan. Key contacts from both UK and Taiwan are invited to participate. The annual meeting, which this year incorporates groups from the ICT, Infrastructure & Renewable, and Financial & Professional Service sectors, provides numerous opportunities to meet prospective customers and partners and, of course, to strengthen existing relationships. The meeting also seeks to identify and develop new initiatives, including in third countries. A programme of visits to companies and organisations in each of the three sectors will take place on 16 June. On 17 June, following the short opening plenary session of the meeting itself, sector groups will hold separate simultaneous sessions with their Taiwanese counterparts. These sessions will provide a forum for discussion of in-market opportunities and challenges. Following the breakout sessions, sector chairs will summarise key findings in plenary towards the end of the meeting. For further information or registration, please contact: Mike Qureshi |
