Besides, the CICC qualifies itself as a voicing platform for them to share topics of common interest. To companies interested in strengthening their business in China, the CICC offers consultancy, assistance and marketing services.

The CICC’s work is about: deep understanding of the Chinese market, thanks to CICC rooted relationship with the business community and the local institutions; open dialogue and interaction with companies, being CICC itself a network of professionals; efficacy and efficiency, a must-have for a no-profit organization facing competition in providing qualified and affordable services.

Dear Members and Friends,

The China-Italy Chamber of Commerce (CICC), with the support of its Italian Quality and Lifestyle Council (IQLC), is glad to invite you to attend the "Retail Insights: Navigating Recent Uncertainties Among China Consumers: Brand Building Versus Short-Term Actions", on April 11, in Shanghai.

This event will see a special contribution from Mckinsey and high-end brands: Farfetch, Wagas Group, Stella McCartney and Golden Goose!

We welcome the representatives of the Sino-Italian Business Community to participate in a Business Roundtable focused on recent Chinese consumer trends and the performance of well-known retail companies in China.

During the morning session, Daniel Zipser, Senior Partner at McKinsey & Company, Leader of McKinsey's consumer and retail Practice in Asia, will offer China's Macroeconomics outlook and insights from a soon-to-be-released report focused on Consumer trends, entitled " Chinese Consumption: An Encouraging Start in the Year of the Dragon".

China experienced a moderate recovery in 2023, marking the first year of bounce-back since the conclusion of the COVID-19 pandemic. While the Chinese economy faces continued headwinds and consumer-facing companies are encountering increasingly fierce competition, one message emerges from our analysis of the first two months of the year: we're off to an encouraging start in the Year of the Dragon. While it's too early to provide an accurate forecast for the rest of the year, key consumption indicators are pointing in the right direction.

To follow, a roundtable moderated by Mauro Maggioni, CICC Board Member and CEO Asia Pacific at Golden Goose, with well-known experts in fashion, luxury and retail: Maggie Chan, Operating Partner, Board of Directors at Wagas Group; Filippo Gori, President Apac at Stella McCartney, and Judy Liu, Farfetch APAC President.

The business roundtable will take place at Frasca from 8 to 11 am, accompanied by a delicious breakfast.
