From Concept Ideas to Business Success

SL Palladio International focuses on businesses that will benefit from growing discretionary consumption, particularly in the Chinese market, across select buckets of lifestyle consumption. Specifically, the core business sectors are Fashion and F&B, more broadly those which can be grouped under ‘the big umbrella’ of lifestyle as their products and services ultimately define the specific customer’s lifestyle.
