Local Businesses Network Looking To Chinese Investment
LETHBRIDGE – Business owners and investors from Anyang, China are in Lethbridge this week, connecting with local businesses in hopes of potential foreign investment opportunities.
A consortium of southern Alberta economic development organizations, representing more than 40 municipalities is hosting the delegates.
The investment and trade visit runs from Oct 11 to 14, and acts as the next step of an overall strategy that has included sister city agreements and previous China-Lethbridge visits, with the most recent seeing Lethbridge host an education focused delegation.
Strategically selected and by invitation only, the Chinese investors and companies – primarily from the Anyang region in the Henan province – are from the sectors of agriculture, agri-food, renewable energy technologies, clean-technologies and tourism.
