Contact usFrequently asked questions
Is Gatekin right for my business?
We support international companies, buyers, and smaller firms exploring or partnering in China, as well as Chinese market leaders looking to strengthen operations or reach European buyers. A first conversation helps establish the right fit.
Do I need to know exactly what I’m looking for?
No. A question, a market you want to understand, or an opportunity you’re considering is a useful starting point. We can discuss the priorities before defining a project.
Can you help with a visit to China?
Factory visits and exhibitions are part of our industry exploration offering. Share your sector, intended dates, and objectives so we can discuss what may be possible.
What happens after the first conversation?
If there’s a fit, we discuss a proposed scope and next steps. Project availability, timing, and fees should be agreed before any engagement begins.
