Circular for CIIF 2021

Dear Members:

After the success in terms of participation achieved by the Italian Pavilion in the past edition of CIIF 2020 “China International Industry Fair” & 1st WIMEC (Week of Italian Mechanical Engineering in China), the China-Italy Chamber of Commerce (CCIC) has decided to confirm both events for 2021.

The many activities organized, like the Italy-China seminary regarding “Sustainable Technology, Mechanics and Mobility”, the first Sino-Italian forum on the Italian engineering technologies, the signature of two memorandum of understanding for local partners, as well as the extended media coverage (134 articles on local press), have contributed in a determining way to promote the excellence of Italian manufacturing sector in China.

CCIC, in its function as "aggregator" of companies present in the territory in all the industrial & commercial sectors, in close synergy with the Embassy of Italy to the P.R.C., the Consulate General of Italy in Shanghai and ITA - Italian Trade Agency, will organize and promote both the Week of “Italian Mechanical Engineering in China” (WIMEC) and the 2nd edition of Italian National Pavilion in CIIF 2021, which will take place at the Expo Centre of Shanghai Hongqiao from 14th to 18th September 2021.

The target of this year is replicating the success of the first edition, consolidating on one side the system’s “value position” which is coherent with the technological image that Italy wants to give to the market which intercepts the industrial priorities and the investments of the new course of China’s development, aiming on the other side to one participation enlarged to the key actors of the sector.

The goods sectors of great interest of CIIF are particularly:

• Metalworking and CNC Machine Tool & Robotics

• Industrial Automation

• Environmental Protection Technology & Equipment
