The Society of British Gas Industries will be taking a group of UK businesses to the China Gas Summit with UK Trade & Investment (UKTI) support via the Tradeshow Access Programme (TAP).

China is a fast emerging gas market in Asia and the China Gas Summit provides a platform for gas producers, consumers and industry players to meet and exchange views in further developing and growing the gas market. The 2006 event accommodated around 300 decision makers and industry professionals from 160 international leading companies.

This event has been designated as a "high tech" event by UKTI and TAP support may therefore be made available to otherwise eligible businesses that are not necessarily "new to export". Although businesses that have exhibited at any of the three previous editions of the event would not be eligible for support on this basis.

Venue Details
The China Gas Summit will be held in Beijing, China.
