Energy Transition: China Cooperation with Italian Firms

On September 12th, the Energy and Environment Working Group (EEPWG) held a stakeholder meeting at Generali China’s Beijing office, bringing together major Italian businesses engaged in the energy transition.

The discussion highlighted China’s central role in the global energy transition as the world’s leading investor in clean technologies, from solar and wind power to electric mobility and battery innovation. The government’s targets— peaking carbon emissions before 2030 and achieving carbon neutrality by 2060—are reshaping industrial policy, infrastructure, and market opportunities.

In this context, green insurance is emerging as a key enabler, helping companies manage environmental risks, support investment in renewable projects, and provide financial security for innovative but capital-intensive green technologies.

For foreign companies, including Italian firms, this shift opens new avenues for cooperation in renewable energy, sustainable manufacturing, smart grids, and circular economy solutions with a particular emphasis on collaboration in technology solution and supply chain.
