The Beijing International Marketing Centre is located in the Canadian Embassy. Its mandate is to promote awareness of Ontario and the province's many investment and business opportunities.

The Centre works with Chinese companies to find investment opportunities in Ontario, and to promote awareness of and access to Ontario-produced goods and services.

In October 2008, the Premier of Ontario led an investment and trade mission to China that included stops in Shanghai, Nanjing, Beijing and Chongqing. The mission focused on building new partnerships, especially for the development of innovative environmental technologies. China is investing $175 billion in environmental protection between 2006 and 2010.

The Premier stated that the mission "deliver[ed] the message that Ontario is open for business, ready to compete and equipped to win. There are great opportunities in China to promote our strengths in environmental technologies and create new partnerships."

The trip, which built on the Premier's first trade and investment mission to China in 2005, included 30 delegates from some of Ontario's most innovative companies.
