China's ongoing rapid development is creating enormous demand for construction and engineering services, materials and equipment. Rapid year-on-year growth and the tremendous scale of activity make China the world's most attractive construction market. This does not automatically translate into success for companies operating in these sectors. Like many other sectors in China, the construction and engineering industry, and particularly foreign companies looking to break into the market, face many hurdles and challenges that need to be overcome to successfully develop and grow in the market. But many examples exist of players that have been able to develop highly successful strategies building on their experience from their home markets and adopting to local market conditions.
What are the lessons we can learn from these players? What are some of the key challenges faced by the industry? How can we deal with these issues? What are the opportunities in the market? And what are different strategies to capture these opportunities?
In this workshop we are looking to bring together different parties in the construction sector in China and discuss these issues, exchange knowledge and ideas, network and discuss the development of a formal Tianjin working group chapter focussed on the construction and engineering industry. With speakers from industry and government as well as a presentation from L.E.K. Consulting, a leading global strategy consulting firm, we look forward to a productive afternoon with plenty of opportunity to gain ideas and insights and network with industry contacts that share a common interest.
