With the current economic condition in the U.S., finding good business opportunities is like entering a lion’s den. With tons of firms out there and projects that aren’t a lot right now, the competition is fierce between firms that want to get their share of the opportunities out there.  With that in mind, looking outside of the US for more business opportunities seems to be a good option with the economy still in recovery mode.

Being one of the hottest spots in the global market, China is drawing more and more American A/E firms.  The public news may often showcase the successful stories but people are still concerned about if this is a right path to pursue and what they will face when the train leaves the station. 

In this webinar, Kitty Li, Founder and CEO of the LIK Group, shares her own experiences with working in the market in China so that you could also see if  looking at an overseas market for your firm’s future business opportunities may be something that is worth your time, resources and efforts. She also answers the ultimate question -- can it be a profitable business? It was for her firm and it maybe the same for your firm as well.

At the end of the event, the participants will understand the following:
