Dear Members, dear Friends,

Wenzhou, with the distinctive feature of “small commodities and large market”, has been an important birthplace of China’s market economy. At the year of 2018 which marks the 40th anniversary of the launch of China’s reform and opening-up program, 2018 WIIE is an important window for Wenzhou to open its market to the world, and also a significant symbol of transformation and upgrading of its international trade.

The Fair had a strong International participation with exhibitors from different Countries presenting their traditional products and delights. From all over the World the visitors could taste specialties coming from abroad and among all the exhibitors’ booths the Italian Pavilion was literally assaulted by Wenzhounese people that have a strong bond of emigration towards Italy.

The CICC Food and Beverage Working Group represented by 8 Italian companies took part to the WIIE: Cantine Polvanera, Gamosgroup, Genagricola, Good Italy, Lid Company, Q10 Italy, Sinodrink and Yishe.

Italy was well represented by an entire pavilion dedicated to the Made in Italy, with a display of the best wines, food, cheeses, Parma ham and delicacies that encountered the Chinese palates. All Italian products were highly appreciated by Chinese buyers and consumers. In addition, the Italian Companies taking part to this important event were satisfied selling out all their products.

The China-Italy Chamber of Commerce would like to thank the Italian companies, the Organizing Committee and all the participants for the successful outcome of the event.

Kind regards,
