The F&BWG is committed to share information and to provide services to its Members. 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 mentoring role to help them approach the market and launch their activities. Together with the CICC, the F&BWG promotes joint activities and promotional events, in order to avoid fragmentation and to maximize the appeal of Italian food culture marketing. Therefore, the F&B Working Group lobbies institutions and authorities (such as the European Chamber of Commerce in China, etc.) to raise awareness about biggest challenges faced by its Members in the Chinese market. We hope that many of our F&B Members and Friends will participate!
