The 17+1 format is an initiative by the People’s Republic of China aimed at intensifying and expanding cooperation with 12 EU Member States and 5 Balkan countries in the fields of investments, transport, finance, science, education, and culture. In the framework of the initiative, China has defined three potential priority areas for economic cooperation: infrastructure, high technologies.
Whilst Euroasia Investment Partners has a global reach through its extensive network of business contacts, it has a particular emphasis on the 17+1 geographic region. It is the deep knowledge and contacts that EIP has acquired over the years in this region that directly led to EIP jointly establishing, with the EU-China Commission, the Regional Office of “Belt and Road” for Central and Eastern Europe.
