Italy's aim at the Expo Dubai
2020 is to attract investments and boost exports to and from the
Bel Paese, Expo Dubai 2020 Italy Commissioner Paolo Glisenti
said Thursday.
"The expo is an opportunity to promote Made in Italy towards
those markets that will be highest growth in the next 10 years,
strategic for our exports, and also to attract investments
towards our small and medium-sized firms," he said at the event
"One year to go: the business system at Expo 2020" held at the
Foreign Trade Agency (ICE) in Rome.
Glisenti stressed "the importance of Expo Dubai for
attracting investments also towards start-ups".
Foreign Undersecretary Manlio Di Stefano said next year's
expo would provide "a global showcase for our country, where
businesses will be able to show the best of their ideas inspired
by its theme, 'Connecting Minds, Creating the Future'.
Di Stefano said "the United Arab Emirates have a huge need
and political identity linked to sustainability and the
necessary integration between innovation and respect for the
environment."
He said Italy was already present in the UAE "with several
firms that are operating in this highly specialised sector."
Di Stefano said the market was asking Italy to combine the
"quality that has always marked us with the two words innovative
and sustainable".
