China recorded yet another year of double digit growth, achieving a total of 10.7%. The rapid economy growth driven by the country's success as a manufacturer and exporter of low cost good, has created demand for industrial properties such as warehouse space, logistics facilities, high-tech parks for R&D and BPOs to offer excellent exposure to China's fast growing export-oriented sectors.

Due to the strong demand, China's industrial properties are increasing at a stable higher rate of return than those in other sectors, which has keep attracting stream of large industrial property developers to the market. And China, has been a top destination of global industrial estate investment.

Although it's still the government entities who dominate in China's industrial property market which falls into the category of low transparency, the increasing participation of overseas investors, coupled with government efforts to stablize the markets is likely to allow China to leapfrog ahead of other countries in terms of market transparency within a relatively short time horizon. All this is likely to create a bigger pool of investment opportunities for China's IRE market.

The 2nd annual CIRE summit will bring together all the most important players in China's IRE market - including government regulators, property developers, international and local investors, parks, corporate end-users, funds and REITs, investment banks, property consultants, legal and tax experts under one roof. We offer you a most transparent platform to meet more people, more quality of projects, more first-hand information and more practical knowledge for success. CIRE 2008 is the most important date you cannot miss in the global real estate calendar.

China's industrial market is calling. Return to CIRE summit 2008, 5th to 7th March, 2008 in Tianjin, China.
