Conference on “Setting up a joint agenda for innovation and business exchange”
The links between China and Italy, rooted in history, have experienced a remarkable growth over the last
decade, with increasing cooperation in trade and investments, industrial relations and cultural and
scientific exchanges. A further enhancement of this cooperation platform is now necessary in order to fully
exploit the great potential of the Sino-Italian partnership. In this context, bilateral collaboration in research
and innovation plays an important role. The conference aims at contributing to the identification of
a common agenda focusing on innovative topics, which can nurture both the scientific cooperation and new
business opportunities.
