BEIJING, Nov. 25 /PRNewswire-Asia/ -- Wolters Kluwer, a market-leading global information services and publishing company focused on professionals, today announced that Wolters Kluwer China has held a special ceremony in celebration of the collaboration with students from the China Central Academy of Fine Arts (CAFA) on a fee-based, creative graphic design project for the company's 2009 Frankfurt Book Fair show.
During the ceremony, Wolters Kluwer China CEO Shasha Chang together with CAFA professor Xiao Yong granted awards to various Chinese young professional art students that took part in the creative graphic design project for the Wolters Kluwer trade show stand for which they were financially compensated. The stand design represented the Wolters Kluwer environment, where partnership with customers, quality of brands, and a deep understanding of cultural richness came together. Shasha Chang, CEO of Wolters Kluwer China commented, "The collection of artwork created by the various young and upcoming Chinese artists of the Beijing-based Central Academy of Fine Arts has been an inspiring collaboration. It is a great example of how Wolters Kluwer China values its partnerships, respects intellectual property rights, and it also reflects the importance of China and the Chinese professional market to Wolters Kluwer."
Wolters Kluwer has developed strong, long-term relationships with Chinese professionals, local Chinese publishing companies, industry associations, and government bodies over the last 20 years. These value-adding partnerships inspire innovative solutions, products, and services and set Wolters Kluwer apart in the Chinese information market. Building on that, Wolters Kluwer is committed to continue to invest in strengthening relations and be a key partner in the Chinese tax, accounting, legal, and healthcare markets.
Professor Xiao Yong of CAFA, added, "This special design project with our students where they have provided artwork that corresponded with Wolters Kluwer's view on partnerships has been a great opportunity for us to collaborate on an international level. The exposure of the students' artwork at the stand of Wolters Kluwer during the 2009 Frankfurt Book Fair has provided a remarkable visibility for the academy and our students, where we aim to cultivate high-quality art professionals."
