A two-week roadshow in China is being organised to promote better links between Yorkshire businesses and the country's fast growing economy.
Law firm DLA Piper, The Royal Bank of Scotland (RBS) and Yorkshire Forward have joined forces and are embarking on the trip to four key Chinese cities of Guangzhou, Yangzhou, Nanjing and Chengdu to promote investment into Yorkshire.
Yorkshire Forward has an office in China and says it has already been successful in attracting Chinese businesses.
Theresa Lindsay, head of marketing and business development, said: "China is one of Yorkshire and Humber's key investment markets with almost 20 per cent of all foreign investments in the region last year coming from this area."
