The China-Britain Business Council/British Chamber, CAITEC and CHINCA are pleased to invite you to our “Belt & Road Workshop–Tendering Processes & Bankability in Regulated Countries”.

Workshop Focus – In countries with developed regulatory frameworks and financial markets, specialised knowledge and experience are necessary when putting forward compliant bids, as well as winning and raising (local) financing for public infrastructure projects. Awareness of the various relevant steps, processes and requirements in such countries is paramount to achieving these goals. Examples of such regulated countries include the UK, EU member states, the Philippines, Indonesia, Malaysia, Mexico and Brazil.
