Fondazione Italia Cina

The Italy China Foundation was founded on November 11th 2003 by Cesare Romiti and is dedicated to promoting increased business and cultural links between Italy and China. The Foundation’s founding members who sit on the board of directors consist of high ranking officials and managers representing the Italian Government and local authorities, Confindustria (i.e. the confederation of Italian industry) and the leading enterprises and financial groups. The joint participation of institutions and private entities is a clear effort to achieve efficient coordination vis-à-vis the Chinese market. Thanks to its highly-qualified membership and standing the Foundation is a unified and effective voice for its members. The Foundation works with Italian and Chinese authorities to ensure that the relationship between the two countries remains strong and vital and that the business environment improves steadily for Italian companies in China and for Chinese companies in Italy. The Foundation assists Italian firms in their on-going or prospective operations in China and provides support to Chinese companies seeking investment and business opportunities in Italy. The Foundation directly supports its members’ operations in China by providing consultancy through its network of Partners. The economic and trade relations among the two countries are further emphasised through the organisation of cultural events and tailored educational programmes for post-graduates and executives.
