Our Background

For over 15 years AsiaDemand has had a strong and successful track record of building business in China for foreign companies. From our inception, we have been a trusted and reliable partner to major Chinese industrial companies to source industrial machinery, processes and, more recently, software technologies to enhance their productivity, market competitiveness and profitability. In many cases, our Chinese customers treat us as "gatekeepers" to assess the latest technologies and processes. By leveraging our deep Chinese business and government relationships and our experience, our clients build profitable businesses in China while avoiding the tremendous challenges they would ordinarily face.

We have developed a series of "Accelerators" that each provides a step-by-step methodology to create rapid results for clients, whether the goal is selling, sourcing or transferring technology. In fact, we are so confident in our ability to bring value to clients that our compensation is heavily weighted to performance where we share in our clients' success.

AsiaDemand has been majority-owned by Pequot Capital Management, Inc., one of the world's largest technology investors. Our leadership team has a proven track record and reputation in both China and the U.S. and is a fusion of top international and Chinese business professionals with the expertise and experience to deliver on our mission. Our China-based team brings intimate knowledge of China's cultural, legal, operating and regulatory environments. We focus on the major Chinese industrial companies in the petroleum and petrochemicals, food and agriculture and pharmaceutical industries with whom we have established joint ventures. For example, the following archived releases reflect two key joint ventures we have formed in China.

China's Challenges

Some of the challenges companies find daunting in China are:

1.       Finding and building the right business relationships in a country where company information is scarce and incomplete

2.       Dealing with unfamiliar and often complicated business and regulatory standards and practices

 3.       Protecting intellectual property and proprietary processes in a high-risk environment for piracy

4.       Establishing the right business structure that facilitates repatriation of capital and profits without restrictions

5.       Communicating where English is not the primary language of commerce
