Why organize a Week of Italian Mechanical Engineering in China?

• Italy is the second largest manufacturing country in Europe, 100 billion euro's worth and ranking seventh in the world. The production system of Italy consists of 4.6 million companies.
• The export of the entire sector is in fact equal to over 49% of the Italian export, both worldwide and to China, (11.8% of the fashion industry and 9% of the food industry), which are the sectors usually identified as the excellence of Made in Italy
• China ranks eighth among the target markets for Italian exports in this sector, but in some categories such as machine tools, China is the third largest export market after the United States and Germany
• Italy therefore stands as the supplier of technologies and machinery of the main industrial powers in the world
• Italy's mechanical industry is closely linked to China. 50% of Italy's total exports to China is made of mechanical and engineering technology, compared to 3.7% of the agri-food industry and 18% of the fashion industry. In the mechanical engineering sector, the main category is machinery, which represents 56% of total Italian exports of around 4 billion euros
