Know more about F&BWG

The F&BWG includes all the companies working in the F&B/Ho.Re.Ca, such as F&B producers, companies importing Italian F&B products to China, Italian restaurants, etc.

Despite the F&B is one of the most fragmented and challenging sectors, it represents an incredible opportunity for Italian companies. This is why the China-Italy Chamber of Commerce has decided to establish a dedicated working group.

For companies based in China, the F&BWG mainly focuses on sharing information, best practices and contacts. For Italian companies not yet operating in China, the F&BWG plays a mentor role to help them to approach the market and launch their activities.
