A delegation from the Italian Chamber of Commerce in China (CCIC), led by Chairman Lorenzo Riccardi and CCIC Board Member Alessandro Petrini, met with Valter Giammaria, Vice President of the Chamber of Commerce of Rome and President of Confesercenti for Rome and Lazio, for a productive dialogue on enhancing economic cooperation between Italian small and medium-sized enterprises and the Chinese market.

The meeting focused on identifying concrete pathways to support businesses in their internationalization efforts, with particular attention to the opportunities emerging from China's evolving consumption patterns, green transition, and digital economy. Discussions explored how CCIC's on-the-ground expertise and network can serve as a strategic resource for Confesercenti members seeking to establish or expand their presence in China.

Key areas of collaboration identified include facilitating market access for Italian excellence in the food and beverage sector, promoting tourism and cultural exchange, and providing tailored advisory services to SMEs navigating the complexities of the Chinese regulatory environment. The meeting also addressed the importance of strengthening ties between Italian business associations to create a cohesive support system for entrepreneurs looking to tap into Asia's largest economy.

CCIC and Confesercenti Rome share a common vision: empowering Italian enterprises with the knowledge, connections, and tools needed to compete globally while preserving the uniqueness and quality that define Made in Italy.
