2008 China Trip Details:
Last year’s China trip covered industrial parks in nine cities including Shanghai, Beijing, Hangzhou Xiaoshan, Huzhou, Suzhou, Wuxi, Nanjing, and Tianjing. In each place, delegates met face to face with senior officials from local government and industrial park, VC, and oversea returnees; and presented their business proposals. Local hosts also introduced their respective industrial parks, future plans, and available benefits/fundings (e.g., 530 and 863 projects).
Feedback from last year’s China Trip:
All delegation members were extremely satisfied. Here are some of their feedbacks.
- “This trip is way beyond expectation.” (from most delegates)
- “绝对大大物超所值 , I am so glad I came.”
- “I truly enjoyed the trip. Many thanks to NACSA's organizers for
all their efforts to make this trip a successful one. In particular I'd like to express gratitude to those NACSA organizers who didn't join us on the trip but spent months preparing for it.”
- “Thanks everyone's hard work of making this wonderful trip happen.
This is an eye opening trip and I learned a lot from it and every group member. It is really my pleasure and honor to be part of it.”
- “NACSA board members must have done huge amount of work to make this possible.”
- “To put it fairly, this trip exceeded my expectation overall with my sincere thanks!
No one could argue that the trip itinerary is rather detailed. This showed organizers' dedication and excellent home work for preparing the trip. Very good communication efforts throughout the trip were made by our team leaders to help us anticipate the upcoming events from one destination to the next. Let's not forget that confirming the schedules with the next stops during the trip could be tedious and time consuming, it took a strong sense of responsibilities to get loop-closed in the background and in a timely fashion.
This quick-paced trip schedule suit me well given that I have wanted to visit as many places as possible and yet with very limited amount of time. For me, it is of particularly valuable to have a first-hand opportunity meet with many of local officials and then be able to come to my own assessment.
Most importantly, I enjoyed the companionship from everyone in the team during the trip. In my career, like some of you, I have logged numerous business-trip miles. Often it gets tiresome during the trip. But for this China trip, with a group of highly motivated and compatible companions, I kept myself upbeat until the moment landed in SFO. I had a very good time.”
- “The trip exceeded my expectation in every aspect. I highly recommend it to anyone I know. It's very well organized. All the leaders showed great leadership during the trip, especially in time of difficulties.
It's hard to measure tangible results in such short time. I believe in a few years, many of us will look back and recognize the influence from this trip.”

( 3 / 370 )This year’s China Trip is still on despite the swine flu (H1N1) epidemic. As you may have already known, the Chinese government is taking the swine flu virus very seriously, and many events over the summer have had to be canceled. After consulting with our host and sponsors, NACSA is pleased to announce that the China trip will not be affected. To reduce the potential impact of the swine flu virus, however, NACSA has decided to postpone the trip to mid-October for everyone’s safety.
For members who would like to be a part of the delegation and have already submitted a business proposal, please be patient as we work out the details of the trip. For those who have not submitted a business proposal, this postponement provides an excellent opportunity and much needed time for you to submit your proposal.

The following cities will be targeted for this year’s China Trip:
Oct. 11-13: Beijing, Tianjin
Oct. 14-17: Sichuan (Chengdu, Chongqing)

In addition, we will be attending the IC China conference as well as visiting high-tech zones, local governments, large/small companies, VC's, etc.
As always, NACSA is working hard to make the China Trip as effective and efficient as possible for both the delegates and our hosts/sponsors in China, which include the Chinese governments, industrial parks, VC’s, etc. To this end, we have made special arrangements for them to provide feedback to your business plan prior to the trip.

As many of you may have already known, China has been widely expected to lead the global economic recovery post the US housing bubble and global financial market meltdown. And judging from the leading market indicators (performances of the stock and housing markets, etc.), China seems to be on track to be fulfilling this perceived role. Momentums are also building for China to join the rank of leading economic superpower. These impressive economic accomplishments should provide plenty of motivations for wanting to join NACSA’s 2009 China trip, to be held this Oct., as a way to learn firsthand about startup opportunities in China. As a warm-up event leading up to the trip, NASCA is holding a seminar on how to establish high-tech businesses in China.
