GI's: EU excellence products

Case study

Promoting European Geographical Indications in China. Building Awareness and Market Opportunities for Authentic EU Products 

We execute activities to raise the profile of Geographical Indications (GIs) from the European Union  in China. From high-impact trade fair booths to institutional events, our work connects the unique quality of EU GIs with Chinese consumers and businesses.

Our work

GIs

  • Trade Fairs: Booths with a range of GI produ7cts, featuring tastings, chef  and sommelier shows and interactive activities such as games and guided tours to engage attendees and boost awareness.
  • Events: High-profile events feauturing curated GI displays and presentations, focusing on the protection of GIs. This events promote the unique qualities of EU Gi products and reinforce bilateral cooperation.  

EU Geographical Indications protect products whose quality, reputation, or characteristics are intrinsically linked to their place of origin. This system:

  • Ensures authenticity and tradition 

  • Helps consumers identify trusted products while supporting rural economies in the EU.

  • Plays a key role in international trade agreements.
