New Financial, Insurance & Trade Solutions for Italian Businesses in China
The Italian Chamber of Commerce in China (CCIC) is pleased to invite you to attend the webinar "New Financial, Insurance & Trade Solutions for Italian Businesses in China", in collaboration with Generali, Intesa Sanpaolo, and Sace, to be held on July 14, 2026 (14:00-15:00 China Standard Time / 8:00–9:00 AM Italy Time, CEST)
This webinar aims to provide Italian companies with practical insights into operating and expanding in the Chinese market, with a focus on risk management, export credit, and financial support solutions.
Why participate?
· Are you facing commercial or financial challenges while operating in China?
· Do your clients ask you for a deferred payment, but you are unable to grant them or can only grant them partially?
· You see the opportunity to increase your revenues but at this stage you prudently prefer not to increase the risks with your current and potential clients and distributors?
· Does your company in China need liquidity and you are looking for opportunities to reduce intercompany loans in order to make the subsidiary's financial structure more efficient?
If you find yourself in one of these situations or simply want to receive more information about the activities that Italian financial institutions in China make available to businesses, then you should attend this webinar.
Following the webinar, there will be a post-event survey aimed at better understanding the needs of individual companies. Based on the feedback received, an in-person session will be held on September 8 in Suzhou, with one-to-one meetings with Sace, Generali, and Intesa, designed to identify tailored solutions for each company.
Who should attend?
This webinar is particularly relevant for:
- Italian companies already operating in China;
- Chinese subsidiaries of Italian groups;
- Companies planning to expand their business in China;
- CFOs, Finance Managers, General Managers and Export Managers.
