Chinese entrepreneurship in Italy: working together towards success

Chinese entrepreneurship in Italy has become increasingly relevant over the past three decades. If the first wave of the phenomenon was mostly prompted by individual enterprises or family businesses, in recent years Chinese capitals have become more and more relevant on the Italian market. This created a demand for services to the Chinese community, requiring a complex approach and a deep understanding of the specific need of the Chinese community in Italy and of Chinese tourists and business travellers that happen to visit our country for any period of time. At Smart Eventi, we pride ourselves is having been ahead of time in anticipating the needs of Chinese professionals willing to invest in Italy or to cooperate with Italian enterprises.

Case history: Discovering Jiangsu

One of the most engaging and rewarding projects we managed for a Chinese client was a one-week event during the World Exhibition of 2015 in Milan. The Chinese pavilion featured a number of entrepreneurs and institutions, whose goal was to promote their specific activity or product within the Italian market. We were contracted by the Chinese province of Jiangsu to promote them as a brand to Italian audiences. We had the privilege of learning a lot about the province’s art, culture and craft and we channelled this knowledge into a comprehensive program of activities aimed at encouraging tourism in the Jiangsu area. For the main event, we selected a prestigious venue: the Museo della Permanente in Milan. This was the ideal setting to showcase artworks of all descriptions, paintings and photographs. For the opening ceremony, we invited representatives of the media and of the Chinese government, as well as local Italian institutions. The evening’s entertainment was provided by a cast of talented Chinese artists, including acrobats, dancers, singers and puppeteers.
