A bridge built on trust, not ambition. Initiated by diplomats, anchored in two continents.
Former Swiss Ambassador to China and current Chairman of the Swiss Centers. De Dardel initiated SSIT on the conviction that the gap between Europe and China isn't lack of interest — it's lack of a trusted, two-way bridge.
With deep networks spanning government, industry, finance, and academia across both countries, he anchors SSIT's credibility and ensures the platform serves as a connector — not a one-way channel — between the institutional decision-makers who matter on both sides.
Selene operates at the intersection of European demand and Chinese supply — in both directions. Appointed "Investment Ambassador" by Nanjing Hexi CBD, she helps European clients navigate government partnerships, compliance frameworks, and on-the-ground execution in China, while equally enabling Chinese enterprises to meet European market standards and access buyer networks.
From structuring Silk Factory Collection's cross-border digital platform to facilitating German National Pavilion partnerships, she makes bilateral business outcomes real — not as a one-way exporter, but as the operational bridge that makes both sides work.
From 5.8 GHz microwave radar solutions to IoT-enabled systems, we connect European demand for smart technology with China's advanced manufacturing capabilities — custom-designed, compliance-ready, and delivered at scale.
A bilateral trade engine: we help European buyers discover, qualify, and source from verified Chinese manufacturers — and equally help Chinese producers meet European standards, from silk textiles to industrial components.
Government relations, regulatory navigation, on-the-ground setup — we provide the operational infrastructure for European companies entering China, and for Chinese enterprises expanding into European markets.
From a diplomat's conviction to a bridge spanning two continents.
