From October 23 to 31 2009, the Co-Development Program will organize a trade mission to Hebei Province, China. This mission will be led by Vice-Governor Mrs. Lenie Dwarshuis. The goal of the mission is to introduce Dutch companies to large public works in the field of water and environment technology and harbor/coast development. During this visit special attention will be given to the role of recreation and tourism as part of these topics.

On September 1, we will organize an information meeting about the mission in Kivi Niria in The Hague. During this meeting we will present the first outline of the program.

Established in 2007, Zhongjie International Economic Park (ZIEP) is now a focal point for investment in China. As one of China's top three economic development regions, it is located at the geographic heart of the Bohai Bay, one of the largest engines for China's GDP growth after Shanghai and Guangdong.

While considered a strategic priority by national authorities, ZIEP benefits from a unique and unmatched policy environment towards foreign investment, in addition to its ideal location close to Beijing and Tianjin.

Its 268 km2 territory is predominantly composed of non-agricultural land ready for both industrial and commercial development and is connected by an advanced network of infrastructure, services and leisure facilities.

As such, the Park is already host to hundreds of major companies from across sectors, including manufacturing, chemical, high tech and renewable energy, and across markets, notably, Japan, Republic of Korea, Germany, UK, France, Poland and the Czech Republic.
