Mission

Arcom Group, Inc. and US-China International Investment Association (UCIA) promotes investment cooperation, friendship and exchanges in business, government and culture between the US, China and the world.

Introduction to 2008 One World Business and Cultural Exchange

The world is now more interconnected than ever before. Understanding cultural differences is essential to improving governmental and business relations. The problem for most American companies and government organizations is how to approach the vast Chinese market in a culturally sensitive way.

 

Our organization is providing a cultural and business bridge between the Metro-Atlanta region and five cites in China namely,

Harbin

Beijing

Chengdu

Shenzhen

Guangzhou

We provide this bridge with dancers visual and performing artists from Atlanta sharing the same stage with Chinese artists. A business to business matchmaking forum will also be held. This bridge provides an opportunity to satisfy the need for your organization’s growth in the fast growing economy of China.
