CIC provides market research, strategic analysis, and transaction support for organisations making investment and expansion decisions across China, Europe, and ASEAN.
A firm built between markets.
Founded in Chongqing in 2020, CIC advises Chinese companies, international investors, and growth-stage businesses on decisions that cross borders. We work where market intelligence meets strategy: sizing the opportunity, testing the assumptions, and setting out the options a leadership team or investment committee actually has.

Scope
Our focus follows the routes our clients travel: Western China out to Europe and ASEAN, and international businesses in to China's regional economies.
Short, practical pieces on the questions our clients are weighing.
Most engagements start with a short conversation. Describe the decision you are facing and we will outline how we would approach it.
