ChinaSF to open new office!

10/1/2010 

SFCED Partner ChinaSF is opening a second office after a succesful Shanghai launch. 

While the San Francisco-Shanghai connection has resulted in the opening of 10 Chinese company branches in San Francisco, in the solar energy, digital media and biotech fields, the organization's presence in the nation's capital "is both necessary and inevitable to truly leverage China's market and innovation," said Newsom.

The Beijing office opens this month, with a delegation, led by ChinaSF Executive Director Ginny Fang, on hand for the ribbon cutting. "We were told in China that being in Shanghai was very important, but from Beijing you can be everywhere," said Fang.

"This move will reinforce and multiply the impact on increasing business deal flow between China and San Francisco," said the firm's chairman and CEO, Hong Chen, who is also a member of ChinaSF's advisory board.

Drugs gateway? On hand Wednesday evening for the announcement of the Beijing office opening was another advisory board member, Keyong Ren, chief investment director of China Construction Bank International's $400 million health care fund.
