On April 3, Mr. Qiu Zhaojun, Managing Director of Intennel Business Group, led a delegation to visit the Cambridgeshire Chamber of Commerce. During the visit, Ilona Karpanos, International Trade Adviser at the Chamber, engaged in in-depth discussions with the Intennel Business Group team on global business and technological innovation cooperation opportunities.
As one of the most influential business organizations in the region, the Cambridgeshire Chamber of Commerce has long been committed to supporting both local and international business development by promoting trade and providing business networking resources to drive regional economic growth.
Mr. Qiu highlighted that since its establishment in 2013, Intennel Business Group (IBG) has provided comprehensive international services for various sectors in both China and the UK. These services include global exhibitions, government and enterprise brand promotion, business communication, and full-scale support for corporate market entry. Over the years, IBG has built a strong reputation and extensive network of resources in both countries, which can enable the Chamber to access a wider range of services.
Mr. Qiu particularly emphasized that Intennel Business Group is currently responsible for promoting the China Chain Expo in the UK—an official national-level trade exhibition of China. Moreover, in 2024, IBG became the official UK partner for the promotion of the China Import and Export Fair (Canton Fair), China’s largest and most historic trade exhibition. Mr. Qiu expressed his hope that more member companies of the Cambridgeshire Chamber would participate in these events, thereby fostering deeper cooperation between the Chamber and leading Chinese enterprises across various industries.
Ilona Karpanos introduced the vibrant business ecosystem of Cambridgeshire to the visiting delegation, with a particular focus on the region’s strengths in technology, life sciences, advanced manufacturing, and education. She expressed keen interest in the Chain Expo and Canton Fair introduced by Intennel Business Group and looked forward to launching follow-up cooperation projects.
Furthermore, Ilona Karpanos hoped to leverage Intennel Business Group’s platform to invite more Chinese enterprises and organizations to visit Cambridge, with the goal of promoting the development of trade, economic, and technological projects.
