International presence. Essonne opens its first representative office in China

On 8 December the Essonne département opened an office in the Chinese city of Wuhan – located at the hub of the country’s major communication routes – in order to broaden the international reach of its economic base. The aim of this cooperative project is to strengthen the links between Essonne and the city of Wuhan and to develop economic synergies in the high-tech sector.

This economic agency has several remits:
• To promote the Essonne region in Wuhan and more widely across Hubei province;
• To raise the profile of Essonne-based businesses in central China;
• To build up databases, particularly in biotechnology and IT;
• To produce market surveys and industry analyses for Essonne’s economic stakeholders;
• To develop relations between Essonne and China via trade shows and exhibitions.
