Opening the Door to China's Booming Banking Industry

On December 11, 2006, China will officially open its banking sector to foreign competitors. To prepare for that day, the nation's banks are purchasing new technologies from U.S. companies.

Currently, the banks are looking for:
  • Credit Analysis, Financial Planning, and Training Software
  • Operations and Information Management Systems
  • Networking and Security Solutions
  • Digital/Voice/Video Technology and Wireless Networks 
  • and more.
At this meeting of the International Council, Ms. Ida Peng, a leading Financial Services Specialist and a member of the Commercial Service Office in Beijing, China, will explain the opportunities that are available to U.S. companies and provide tips on selling in the Chinese market.


Come to this meeting to learn more about China's banking sector and the wealth of business opportunities that are available there.


This is a "brown bag luncheon." Some light refreshments will be provided.
