The Abu Dhabi conference was attended by delegates from 30 Italian companies.
Dr Ferdinand Fiore, Italian Trade Commissioner in Dubai, said that a new entity has been formed in Italy by the name, InvestInItaly, to support foreign enterprise in every phase of investment and business development from choosing the location to setting up a project, from helping the public administration to providing incentives and after-care service.
He said that the Italian Trade Commission, Dubai, recently set up an Investment Desk to promote Italy business and investment environment, encourage investment inflows, seeking strategic partnerships and suitable alliances, create multinational corporation and organising investment events.
