The 28th of September Chilepork (the association of pork meat in Chile) organized with the support of Opera Global Business, a presentation and tasting event of its products to Chinese meat sector professionals. The event was held in Shangai coinciding with the Sial China fair, which held an atypical edition by limiting the assistance to only a national level because of the international mobility limitations which are imposed by the country. This has caused the fair to not have a very successful outcome.

 

 

The exact opposite happened with this event, to which 100 people attended, mostly Chinese importers from the meat sector. Also authority figures from Chile in China atattended such as the ambassador  D. Luis Schmidt and the Sales Director of  Prochile in China, Juan José Vidal.

Because of the mobility limitations, the day had a peculiarity that Chilean businesses took part by streaming from Chile through a huge screen in the room. Each started with welcoming remarks through the big screen. Followed by the ambassador, there present, who also had words of welcome and thanks to the attendee. After the presentation, a cooking show was held of typical Chinese dishes with Chilean pork as main actor. After the presentation, the guest were able to taste the dishes prepared by the chef.

The whole act was streamed, so Chilepork as well as Chilean businesses could watch it live. This innovative initiative is a further demonstration that Opera Global Business is able to adapt to whatever external obstacle and ib this way continue to help the international promotion plan for its clients.
