Very few Brits have heard of Ningbo. Maybe I am bias - as I lived in the city for 18 months -but I strongly believe Ningbo should be top of the list for British businesses who are looking to get a foothold in the China market.
Why?
1. A clear British link: Thanks to the University of Nottingham’s strong and established presence in Ningbo it gives British business an advantage. This is a unique link which no other city in China has. People in Ningbo are knowledgable and positive about the UK. The university's business engagement team gives support and advice for both British and Chinese companies to help bridge the gap.
2.Logistics:The Ningbo-Zhoushan port is the busiest in the world! Much of China’s import and export goes through this dock. For a company which trades goods, Ningbo is a logical place to set up!
3.Close to Shanghai but better quality of life: Thanks to the Hangzhou Bay Bridge (the same length as the British Channel) it takes 2.5 hours to get to Shanghai. As the ‘business capital’ it is important have easy access to Shanghai. By setting up in Ningbo, business people can make a trip to Shanghai with little effort whilst enjoying the benefits of a smaller city such as cheaper rent, better quality of life (eg air quality and access to green space) and the fact that there is less international competitors based in Ningbo.
4. One of China’s most affluent cities: For companies looking to tap into the Chinese consumer market, Ningbo is very well situated. If Zhejiang (Ningbo’s province) was a country it would be ranked 24th in the world. Four of the top 20 richest cities are less than 3 hours away (Ningbo, Hangzhou, Shanghai and Wenzhou).
5. Educated work force: Thanks to the University of Nottingham’s campus, each year a thousand or so British educated Chinese students graduate. This makes Ningbo one of the best places to recruit highly skilled people with an understanding of how business is done in the UK/the west.
All five points are impressive in their own right.Ningbo's real USP for British business is the fact the University of Nottingham has set up an established network. They have paved the way for more businesses to take advantage of the positive attitudes to British business in Ningbo. With plans for the China British Business Council to set up an office and incubator space close the the university, there there will soon be a clear route for businesses to easily establish themselves in this fantastic city!

在英國,很少有人聽說過寧波。人們對她的了解有限,也許是因為我在這個城市住了18個月而對它產生的偏愛,我堅信對于那些正在中國市場尋找立足點的英國企業們來說,寧波應該被列于他們所選擇的城市名單榜之首。
為什么?
1.英國鏈接正因為強大的諾丁漢大學在寧波設有分校,它給與英國企業們優勢。這是一個獨特的,一個在中國其他城市所不具備的優勢。寧波人對英國的認知是正面積極的。諾丁漢大學的企業參與團隊會給英國企業和中國企業支持和建議,為雙方架起溝通的橋梁。
2.物流發達寧波-舟山港是世界上最繁忙的港口之一,中國大量的商品都是通過這個碼頭完成進出口貿易。對于一個從事貿易的公司來說,選址寧波,會得到非常得天獨厚物流條件!
3.接近上海因為有杭州灣跨海大橋(長度接近英吉利海底隧道),從寧波到上海只需要兩個半個小時的車程。上海是中國的商業中心,能方便地去上海,對于企業來說,非常重要。企業選址在寧波,商務人員可以很方便地到上海,又可以享受小城市的好處,比如租金便宜,享受更好的生活品質(如較高的空氣質量和分享更多的綠色空間)。還有一個事實就是在寧波,有著較少的國際競爭對手。
4.中國最富裕的城市之一對于想敲開中國消費市場大門的公司,寧波有著非常好的地理位置。如果浙江省是一個國家,她(富裕程度)將會是世界排名第24名。中國最富有的20個城市中的4個城市,相互之間的距離都小于3小時車程(這些城市是寧波、杭州、上海、溫州)。
5.人才資源優勢每年有1000名左右受過英國教育的中國學生從寧波諾丁漢大學畢業。這也是寧波的最佳優勢之一,企業可以招聘到高技能的人才,他們非常了解在英國或西方如何開展業務。
憑借他們真正的實力,所有這五點給人印象是深刻的。諾丁漢大學已經完成設立了一個既定網絡的設置。他們利用寧波對于英國企業的正面積極的態度,為英國投資者在寧波開展業務鋪平了道路。諾丁漢大學還計劃在學校旁邊設立英中貿易協會理事會的辦事處和企業孵化中心,在那里,企業會很容易地,并很快地在這個美妙的城市扎根、生長!
