GCSx London Tech Week 2026 - Between the UK and China

In an era shaped by AI, data regulations, and shifting geopolitics, trust has become the most valuable currency in business for global brands. For brands expanding internationally, to Europe from Asia or to China from the UK, credibility, compliance, and reputation increasingly matter more than product specs or pricing for success.

London remains one of the few global hubs still built on trust, offering a unique platform for brands and organisations to build credibility, navigate complexity, and scale internationally.

This knowlege sharing and networing event will brings together professionals in the tech ecosystem to explore how Chinese tech companies can use the UK as their launchpad for global growth and how UK/European tech enterprises can tap into the Chinese tech ecosytem.

This event is hosted Global Connect Show and our partners the UK National Committee on China. The venue partner is London Business School.

We’ll unpack:

· Why trust is now a core business asset, not a soft concept

· How brands can build credibility in complex, regulated markets

· What international companies often underestimate when entering the UK and Europe

· Why London is uniquely placed to help shape companies going global

· What to know about entering the China market and working with Chinese partners

What makes this event unique?

Alongside a Chinese business delegation, tech founders, students, and decision-makers attending London Tech Week, we explore a question most events avoid: how do UK and Chinese companies actually build trust with each other's markets.

What is the global community aspect?

This event is free to attend, with costs covered by the organisers, to allow as many people within the UK-China tech ecosystem as possible to connect, build bridges, and deepen dialogue. GCSx London Tech Week is part of a global GCSx tech event series and community, spanning from New York to Berlin, Dubai, Shenzhen and more.

Who should attend?

This event is designed for senior executives, founders, investors, advisors, business school students, and media professionals with a global outlook and an interest in UK-China technology collaboration.

Attendance is free, and we welcome applications from anyone who shares this vision. As places are limited and guests are curated to ensure a diverse and well-connected room, registration is by approval only.
