Canadian Chinese Business Development Association (CCBDA)

Proposal of the Trade Mission 2009

Canadian Chinese Business Development Association will join force with Vancouver Business Network Forum to lead the CCBDA China Trade Mission 2009 Delegation to China in November 2009. The delegation will participate in two major events in China, namely, Eco Tech (Tianjin) 2009-International Eco-City Technology and Construction Exhibition and Guangdong International Tourism and Culture Festival and Tourism Promotion Convention.

The purpose of this delegation is to seek business opportunities through crisis in a global economic recession. Both business associations will play the role as a platform fully utilized by its members to promote trade development between Canada and China. Characterized with a huge market and rapid development, China’s economy will be complemented with the abundant natural resources and advanced technologies of Canada. We hope to achieve a win-win situation through the direct business information exchange and project promotion between companies from both sides.

The co-organization of this trade mission by CCBDA and VBNF is of great importance. Since 1984, CCBDA has been helping Chinese new immigrants to start business, serving the business community, and act as a bridge for economic, trade and cultural exchanges between Canadian and Chinese companies. For example, CCBDA successfully organized a trade show and forum called “Asia Pacific Business Connections 95” in 1995 in Richmond, and a large variety show called “Welcome Beijing Olympics 2008” in 2008 in Richmond.

VBNF is the fastest growing business networking community in the Lower Mainland of BC. Its mandates are to help its members share resources and business information, exchange experience, promote and market their products, and provide a forum for discussion and interaction among members. Many of its members are non-Chinese companies and businessmen. They hope, through this trade mission organized by CCBDA, to find business opportunities and explore the huge market in China.

1. Estimated number of participants: 12 to 18

2. Participating industries and projects may include:

Environmental industries—Canadian companies have a number of advanced environmental technologies and want to co-operate with China to reduce energy consumption and emission, and to develop green economy. For example, there is a Canadian waste to energy project, which, in comparison with the waste burning facilities currently operated in China, provide higher energy conversion efficiency, safer and zero waste comprehensive solutions.
Import and Export—To help as a bridge Canadian import and export companies deal with Chinese counterparts, especially in the resources category. For example, to increase the Canadian export of potassium products has great potential.
Mining and minerals—Canada is renown for its abundant natural resources and China has a great appetite for this. Currently, one of such projects is in the process of negotiation. A BC gold mine rich in multiple precious metals has been inactive for decades due to technical problems (hard to separate some of the metals). It needs funds, technologies and equipments to restart smelting production and further exploration. A very large Chinese gold smelter has such technology and equipments and is willing to cooperate.
Real estate development—To bring together real estate developers from both China and Canada, let them have talks to see if there are opportunities for cooperation.
Tourism industry—Without an ADS agreement between China and Canada, a non-government trade mission still can enhance the mutual understanding and cooperation between their tourism industries. A Canadian tours wholesaler and a tourism souvenir wholesaler intend to participate.

November 2: Departure from Vancouver
November 3 – 5: Tianjin. The Municipal Government of Tianjin. Eco Tech (Tianjin) 2009-International Eco-City Technology and Construction Exhibition.

2009年度中國商務考察團

加拿大華人商業發展會(Canadian Chinese Business Development Association)將聯合溫哥華商聯會(Vancouver Business Network Forum)，于11月初組成一個商務考察團前往中國。期間考察團將參加兩個大型活動︰2009（天津）國際節能減排科技及生態化技術博覽會和廣東省國際旅游文化節和旅游推廣會。

我們的目的是在世界經濟衰退的危機中尋找商機。充分利用商會的平台作用，促進加中貿易的發展。中國市場大，經濟發展快速，加拿大資源豐富，也有不少先進科技，兩國經濟是互補性質的。通過兩國企業和項目的交流和推廣，希望借此機會能有一個雙贏的效果。

加拿大華人商業發展會和溫哥華商聯會聯合組團意義重大。加拿大華人商業發展會成立25年來，一向致力于幫助華裔新移民營商，服務社區，並為加中經貿文化交流搭建橋梁。本會早于1995年已在列治文酒店會議中心舉辦”亞太商業發展會95”，于2008年1月在列治文成功地舉辦大型“共赴北京奧運 2008綜藝晚會”，為促進加拿大與亞太地區的經貿、文化交流起了推動的作用。

溫哥華商聯會是大溫地區迅速成長的商業社團，其宗旨是為會員提供資源共享、生意資訊、市場推廣、商機論壇、會員互動、經驗交流等。其會員有不少是非華裔的企業和商人，希望通過與加拿大華人商業發展會的合作，搭建加中經貿交流橋梁，幫助加拿大華裔和非華裔企業尋找出口東方的商機，開拓人口眾多、經濟發展迅猛的中國市場。

1. 考察團人員初步計劃大約12到18人。

2. 參與考察團的行業和項目主要包括以下幾方面︰

環保行業--加拿大有不少先進的環保技術，希望能與中國合作，節能減排，發展綠色經濟。目前已有垃圾發電項目，與中國國內應用的垃圾焚燒發電技術相比，在能源轉換效率、安全性、廢物綜合利用等方面都較為先進。
進出口貿易—為加拿大有實力的進出口貿易公司搭橋，與中國相關部門互相洽談、合作。特別是在資源類產品，例如鉀礦等擴大加國出口應有可為。
采礦及礦產品—加拿大礦產資源豐富，加中合作大有可為。目前已有一個項目在洽談中。卑斯省一個停采多年的金礦，現有大量富含多種貴金屬的礦石，當年由于冶煉技術不能分離而廢棄，需要資金、技術和設備來重新啟動冶煉生產，以及進一步的勘探。中國一個很大的黃金冶煉廠，擁有這樣的技術和設備，願意進行合作。
地產發展—為加中兩國地產發展商牽線搭橋，見面洽談，看雙方能否有合作機會。
旅游業—在兩國未能達成旅游目的地協議的情況下，通過民間的接觸和交流，促進兩國間旅游業的相互了解和合作。已有加拿大旅行社和旅游紀念品公司有意參加。

3. 考察團行程初步計劃如下︰

11月2日出發。
11月3日-5日在天津。參加2009（天津）國際節能減排科技及生態化技術博覽會。天津市政府接待。
