L'iniziativa ha riunito autorevoli accademici, esponenti di think tank asiatici ed europei e rappresentanti delle principali aziende italiane per stimolare un dibattito di alto livello con alcuni rappresentanti della business community e con esperti provenienti dall’Asia e dall’Europa sull’evoluzione degli scenari economici in Asia e il loro potenziale impatto sull'Europa, anche al fine di elaborare suggerimenti di policy per favorire le relazioni Ue-Asia. Un'attenzione specifica è stata dedicata agli investimenti cinesi in Europa e al loro impatto sul piano sia economico sia politico, tanto a livello dell'Ue quanto a livello nazionale.
