2014 Silicon Valley Mayors’ China Trip

SPONSORSHIP Invitation Letter

Background

As innovation in China takes off, Chinese companies are increasingly looking outside of China for business opportunities and technology partnerships. On the other side of the Pacific, Silicon Valley has attracted top notch researchers, engineers and developers from around the world and has provided a perfect environment for the growth of creative ideas.

Although the potential gains of a closer relationship between Silicon Valley and China may seem obvious, they are far from guaranteed. Of the $1.3 billion Chinese investment in California since 2000, Silicon Valley/South Bay region is only the third most attractive area for Chinese investment. This is partially due to lack of information exchange and effective people-to-people investment promotion activities that help Chinese investors fully appreciate the abundant opportunities here in Silicon Valley. A traditional hands-off approach is outdated and inadequate. Encouraging support for local initiatives and joint efforts from both government and private sectors are required.

China Silicon Valley (“China SV”) is a nonprofit organization headquartered in Silicon Valley with branches in Beijing, Shanghai, Wuhan and Shenzhen. The mission of China SV is to promote investment and business opportunities between China and Silicon Valley.

China SV recently announced the upcoming “Silicon Valley Mayors’ Delegation China Trip”. The key initiative of the trip is “Innovation,” “Collaboration,” and “Green” - themes commonly shared by both Silicon Valley and China. Members of the delegation will include mayors from Silicon Valley cities as well as representatives from private enterprises. The trip will cover Beijing, Shanghai, Wuhan and Shenzhen for a number of exciting events, including meetings with local government officials, breakfast/luncheons with investors, Smart City discussion, and meetings with CEOs from flourishing local Chinese high tech companies.

We invite you to bea sponsor tothis exciting opportunity. You will receive top media coverage both in China and Silicon Valley, connect your company with potential Chinese investors and Chinese business partners, and generate interest for your company in the Chinese market through the Mayors’ Trip.
