NPR's All Things Considered Doing Chengdu -- May 19-23

By Dan Harris and Steve Dickinson

National Public Radio's All Things Considered Show will be broadcasting from Chengdu, China, from May 19 through May 23. (h/t to Barking At The Sun, which is itself based in Chengdu). For years, my firm had been getting calls from software companies looking to go into Chengdu, but almost without exception, none of them did. Then, maybe around six months ago, we started getting calls from software companies that were doing more than just thinking about going into China, they were ready to go. Many of these companies are going in with joint ventures where their US software is licensed (with all sorts of IP protections) to the joint venture for use/sale in China and the joint venture sells, markets and supports the software in China and also engages in software development for new or improved product for both China and the United States/Europe. Chengdu is hot these days and NPR will be there.
