Business Mission to China; November 11-15, 2024
From November 11-15, 2024, CCBC will lead a business mission to China designed for female* founders, CEOs and executives, and representatives of women-led companies who are responsible for business development or exports to China. The objective of the Mission is to help business leaders forge and strengthen partnerships for export and accelerate their China business development.
In-market visits and meetings in both Shanghai and Beijing
Four hours of online China-ready pre-Mission orientation training
Minimum of two curated B2B introductions to help further China-facing business plans
Opportunity to connect with a cohort of dynamic business leaders who share an interest in China business development
CanExport Associations funding available for delegates, priority for funding given to delegates who did not participate in the 2023 Mission
Access to CCBC network and member benefits throughout the Mission program
Complimentary participation in CCBC’s 46th AGM & Business Forum
Beginning in Shanghai and finishing in Beijing, this five-day Mission program provides delegates with high-level interactions with senior executives at a variety of businesses and organizations to foster network expansion and deepen delegate understanding of current market conditions. In each of its Business Mission programs, CCBC leverages its expansive network cultivated over 45 years of Canada-China business to deliver one-of-a-kind value, including meetings and in-market visits that would be difficult for delegates to arrange themselves.
The Mission’s final business roundtable draws participation from CCBC’s signature annual event, the 46th AGM and Business Forum, which convenes executives and dignitaries involved in Canada-China business. Delegates are also provided complimentary access to the morning and evening portions of that event.
Leading up to the Mission, delegates will undertake four hours of pre-Mission orientation, including training modules on business culture and IP protection. As part of the Mission, all delegates will be granted a minimum of two B2B introductions to further support their China-facing business plans.

Delegates and organizations with no prior China market experience are welcome to apply.
This Mission is open to CCBC members and non-members, offering priority to members.
For the purposes of this program, a woman-led company is considered to be:
A company whose founder or president/CEO is a woman (regardless of the gender of the delegate); or
A company that has a male in the above positions but has a woman responsible for China market development who would participate in the Mission.
This program is inclusive of those who self-identify as women.
CCBC will recruit up to 10 delegates with no prior CCBC Business Mission experience who will be eligible for CanExport Associations funding to cover Mission-related expenses.
Delegates who are approved for CanExport Associations funding through CCBC will be entitled to 50% reimbursement of airfare (economy or premium economy tickets up to C$3,000 in cost) and 50% of a C$600 per diem for travel associated costs for five days of the Mission.
Executives who have participated in past CCBC Business Missions are welcome to apply to join the delegation but may not be eligible for CanExport Associations funding.
Fill out the application form by September 15, 2024. Applications are accepted on a rolling basis. Due to high demand last year, we recommend applying early. CCBC reserves the right to select delegates best aligned with the Mission’s goals.
Mission fee for each delegate is C$1,500 + tax. This includes all Mission program activities, including meetings, local transportation, interpretation support for meetings, and most meals from November 12-15, 2024. Delegates are required to pay their own airfare and hotel. CCBC will provide a discounted rate at a preferred hotel.
Delegates who meet CanExport Associations requirements will be eligible for funding to support Mission costs. Delegates are encouraged to find additional funding to cover costs associated with the Mission.
CCBC is organizing a B2B program for Canadian companies participating in CIIE (China International Import Expo). Please contact edward@ccbc.com.cn for more information.
