to Empower Businesses to Succeed in China and Other International Markets
January 10, 2025
Washington, DC | January 10, 2025 –
Basilinna, a global consultancy specializing in business advisory, government relations, and strategic communications, is pleased to announce a strategic partnership with Trivium, the leading China-focused policy analysis firm recognized for its unparalleled expertise in forecasting the trajectory of China’s regulatory landscape and its impact on business.
Through this collaboration, we will help clients deepen their understanding of the opaque Chinese political, economic and social circumstances to ensure more fact-based decision making. Trivium’s unique ability to track and translate Chinese policy and regulatory developments combined with Basilinna’s honed advisory capabilities will help our clients make better and more informed decisions in China’s ever-changing markets.
In addition, we plan to expand the proven Trivium model of custom designed reporting to other parts of the world, including the Middle East and Latin America, where the policy and regulatory frameworks are challenging to track.
Together, we will deliver integrated, data-driven solutions to businesses aiming to boost their competitiveness, deepen their engagement, and tackle specific challenges in China and beyond.
“I’ve long admired Trivium’s work and am thrilled to be deepening our partnership, bringing together Basilinna’s unique approach to advisory work and Trivium’s unparalleled market and policy monitoring expertise,” said Deborah Lehr, Chair and CEO of Basilinna. “This partnership strengthens our ability to support businesses in understanding China’s complex market but also allows us to bring this collaborative model to other key regions where Basilinna has a strong presence, including the Middle East and Latin America.”
As the world’s second-largest economy, China remains an important market for global business, but the bilateral relationship adds a layer of complexity and risk for companies to tackle. The U.S.-China relationship also has geopolitical implications, which is why we aim to expand this offering to new markets.
Andrew Polk, Co-Founder of Trivium, remarked, “In China, decisions made by the state determine economic and business outcomes. We continually hear from the business sector that geopolitical risk, and particularly U.S.-China tensions, is among the top global operational concerns – and that risk is extending into other markets, such as Mexico. We are excited to partner with Basilinna to deliver actionable insights and strategies that empower businesses to succeed in China and beyond. Together, we provide localized knowledge and global perspectives, with on-the-ground implementation to help our clients achieve growth.”
