Proud sponsors of Design for tomorrow’s customer today

Design for tomorrow’s customer today is proudly organised by London Artscom on behalf of Creative Connexions and University of the Arts London, in association with the Economist Corporate Network. The conference is sponsored by Creative Connexions, and supported by London Development Agency’s representative office in Shanghai.

Creative Connexions helps UK creative companies to take advantage of the emerging business opportunities in China. As part of this remit, the organisation also helps businesses within these countries to understand the quality and range of services available and to promote the benefits of using the UK’s creative talent.

By enabling UK creative companies to understand the business and cultural contexts of the markets, Creative Connexions can give you a head start in achieving your objectives for international expansion, helping you establish long lasting and increasingly profitable business relationships. In addition, practical advice and support lets you navigate the inevitable hurdles successfully and makes it easier for you to continue doing business in these developing economies.
