Illuminant’s efforts for London’s Greenwich Council culminated August 18 in a very successful event at the Beijing Olympics’s London House, located in the prestigious Shichahai Club.
More than 100 VIPs and media joined us for a traditional British afternoon tea party to hear from business and government leaders about investment opportunities in Greenwich – one of London’s oldest, most historic boroughs – during the 2012 London Olympic Games.
Greenwich is one of London’s most prestigious areas, and is currently enjoying a renaissance bringing growth and redevelopment. The next summer Olympics – in 2012 – represent a golden opportunity for Chinese investors to explore the booming London market. More than one third of London 2012′s Olympic events will take place in Greenwich, which is also the home to GMT and the Cutty Sark.
Chris Roberts, Mayor of Greenwich, delivered an excellent speech on the opportunities on offer to Chinese investors in the borough. Illuminant organized for Chinese VIP guests from 10 different industries to be invited to the event, including leaders in tourism, higher education, creative industries, sports management, Olympic sponsorship, culture, and inward investment.
The Greenwich Council presents this vision also on the official website on www.destinationgreenwich.com where potential investors and business partners will also find further information and contact details.
Greenwich Council was thrilled with the success and quality of the event. It was an exciting challenge for Illuminant and we look forward to continued collaboration with Greenwich Council.
