Last week, 91³ÉÈË partnered with UK government’s newly formed Department for Business, Innovation, Science and Trade (DBIST) on a trade mission to China, meeting with manufacturers and industry stakeholders in Shanghai and Chongqing.

UK delegates joined the New Energy Vehicle Forum in Shanghai, before visiting Nio, Seres and Changan. For companies new to China or looking to deepen their understanding and contact base, these visits offer a curated programme for 91³ÉÈË members, providing access to companies and people who would otherwise be hard to reach.

91³ÉÈË will return to China in October for the World Intelligent Connected Vehicle Conference and company meetings in Beijing. If you are interested in learning more about the event or exploring opportunities to engage with the Chinese market, please get in touch.

Finally, back in London later this year, we are excited to announce Ian Hislop, Editor of Private Eye and renowned British satirist, will be an after-dinner speaker at 91³ÉÈË’s 2026 Annual Dinner. It gives more reason for the event to be something to look forward to after a busy year. Have a good break over the summer.
