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

China’s appetite for musical instruments and products is massive, and growing rapidly. A great number of companies have met this demand, and launched or expanded their business in China through participation in Music China in Shanghai. Music China is the biggest annual gathering of the music products industry in Asia, with over 33,000 visitors from 89 countries at the 2006 show.

This event will be of particular interest to UK businesses in high technology fields.

This event has been identified by UKTI as a key exhibition.

Venue Details
Music China will be held at Shanghai New International Expo Centre in China.
