Dear Members and Friends of the Center:
The
numbers speak for themselves. Exports from Alaska to
China have grown dramatically from $100 million in
2001 to more than $700 million last year. Alaskan
firms that supply goods and services to China are
enjoying significant success. Is your company or
organization one of these? Are you interested in
finding out more about China and potential business
opportunities?
On December 11, 2008,
the
4th Alaska- China
Business Conference
took place
at the Anchorage Marriott Downtown Hotel. It was
brought to you by World Trade Center Alaska, the
State of Alaska, and the U.S. Commercial Service.
The conference featured presentations by Chinese and
U.S. government officials, private sector executives
already doing business in China, and a number of
other speakers that helped Alaskan audience to
better understand the opportunities, challenges and
resources available to explore or initiate trade
with China.
Former Alaska Governor and U.S. Secretary of
the Interior, Walter J. Hickel, gave
the keynote address during the luncheon
program. His topic was "Alaska and
China-A Look at the Big Picture."
