OBOR Exhibition is the first event after the recent historic official visit of President Xi Jinping in Italy in March 2019, set out to develop the business and commercial aspects of Sino-Italian relations and to represent Italy’s role within One Belt One Road/Belt and Road Initiative, the Chinese strategic and economic development plan in which Italy has the strategic role of maritime terminal. OBOR Exhibition, which we specifically placed six months after CIIE – China International Import Expo held in Shanghai last November, will be a four-day event, with workshops focusing on the New Silk Road and tailor-made B2Bs: a major international event during which Italian companies will be able to meet buyers interested in Made in Italy products and venture capital representatives, eager to select innovative projects and start-ups to be promoted in China and on international markets.
