India and Asia in Focus: ICCI Hosts “Far East: Business Hub – Opportunities, Key Sectors and Strategies”
The event brought together market specialists, legal professionals and business leaders to explore opportunities and practical approaches to expansion across Asian markets.
On 1 July 2026, the Indian Chamber of Commerce in Italy (ICCI) hosted “Far East: Business Hub – Opportunities, Key Sectors and Strategies” at its premises, in collaboration with Morri Rossetti & Franzosi and CLUB ASIA, the network of bilateral Chambers of Commerce supporting Italian companies in their internationalisation projects across Asia.
With a particular focus on India and China, the discussion explored high-growth sectors, opportunities arising from international trade agreements, and strategies for entering and developing business activities in these markets. By combining market insights, legal expertise and first-hand corporate experience, the event offered participants complementary perspectives on the opportunities and challenges facing Italian businesses in Asia.
Moderated by Roberto Zoppi, Vice President of CLUB ASIA, the discussion featured contributions from Marina Vienna, Vice President of ICCI, and Luciano Pettoello Mantovani, Secretary General of ICCI, who shared their insights into the Indian market and the opportunities it presents for Italian companies.
Federica Santonocito, Partner and Head of Intellectual Property at Morri Rossetti & Franzosi, and Giulia Romanelli, IP Lawyer and Head of China Desk at the firm, contributed an in-depth analysis of the Chinese market, bringing a legal and intellectual property perspective to the discussion.
The programme also featured practical business experiences from Pietro Aldeghi, General Manager India & North America at CIMA Group, and Federico Ferazzutti, Global Sales Manager at PMP Industries Group. Their contributions connected the broader market discussion with the realities of implementing internationalisation projects and developing an overseas business presence.
The event reaffirmed the value of dialogue between companies, professional advisers and bilateral Chambers of Commerce in helping Italian businesses navigate Asian markets and develop informed international growth strategies.
ICCI extends its sincere thanks to all speakers and participants, to Morri Rossetti & Franzosi for its valuable collaboration, and to CLUB ASIA for its support in strengthening business dialogue and economic relations between Italy and Asia.
