BT Global-VAM and its strategic partners jointly utilize their respective expertise, experience and resources to help startups and matured companies in China to grow and to go global. Some of the strategic dedicated programs and professional advisory services include Venture Accelerator Program, Global Market Access Program, Mentoring Program, Business Strategy, Investment / Corporate / Technical Advisories, Market Intelligence and other business support services such as Branding, Communications, IT, HR, Legal & Accounting Services.
