The Belt and Road Summit is the only high-level platform designed for business leaders from Eurasia. By creating a close-knit community of business with mutual knowledge, personal feeling, and trust, we aim at catalyzing plurinational business development in Eurasia, a heterogeneous region in terms of economic potential, business culture, policies and incentives.

After two editions focused respectively on understanding what the Belt and Road is and what actions should be initiated to unleash its potential, the third edition will increasingly focus on concrete business to business cooperation and industrial opportunities in the countries located along the maritime and land routes.

The Italian Chamber of Commerce, in collaboration with the Dutch Chamber of Commerce, is glad to invite you to this interesting seminar.

The ongoing US-China trade war is on the news almost every day. The stakes have dramatically increased during the last few months. Obviously, even before President Trump started his trade battle with China last year, many western companies operating in China were already struggling and facing difficulties when navigating the various hurdles and barriers in place. Regulatory barriers immediately come to mind, but the various cultural and commercial challenges shouldn’t be underestimated either.

During this dinner seminar, we aim to give the audience some better insights and updates into the reality of doing business in today’s China, as well as some meaningful examples from various companies that have succeeded in identifying the risks/opportunities and tailoring their businesses accordingly when entering/growing in China.

The panel discussion will not only focus on the above topics but also cover other questions during the evening. Such as: How do you expect the Trade War to impact your company? How do you see Hong Kong’s role, with its recent eye-catching protest events, evolve and influence your business? What is your outlook for China for 2020 and beyond? At the end of the evening, you should have fully updated and latest views on China and how to best operate there.

The Dialogue is the reference event to deepen and establish high-level level relations with Asian leaders. This second edition (Chongqing, China; December 1-2, 2019) happens at a pivotal moment in time in which the overall world geo-economic barycenter is shifting towards the east, while the major economic blocks are suffering increasing disaggregating pressure.

The Asia-Europe CEO Dialogue will bring to Chongqing over 300 Asian and European business leaders, multilateral institutions and representatives of country governments and institutions for an intense full-day program (December 2nd) which will focus on strategic topics for ensuring prosperity in the next decades:

• Belt and Road Initiative and European Development Strategy
• Asia-Europe Trade and Financial Cooperation
• Sustainable development
• Smart cities & intelligent manufacturing

Participation in the Dialogue is strictly C-level and upon invitation only.
