İtalya ve Türkiye Enerji ve Altyapı İşbirliğini İstanbul'da Masaya Yatırdı

Italian-Turkish Forum on Infrastructure and Energy Held in Istanbul

(ANSA) - ISTANBUL, 20 GIU - One hundred participants and over 200 B2B meetings between Italian and Turkish companies aimed at capturing market opportunities opening up in Turkey, thanks in part to the Ankara government’s new infrastructure projects, which—in the logistics sector alone—call for medium- and long-term investments totaling 200 billion dollars. These are the figures from the “business matching” event organized by SACE and the Italian Embassy in Turkey, which took place yesterday at the Palazzo di Venezia in Istanbul. The event is part of the “Ideha26” series launched by the Italian Embassy in Ankara to promote Italian “genius” and excellence in Turkey and was attended by the Turkish Minister of Trade, Omer Bolat, who met with the more than forty Italian companies in attendance before his speech. ““Thanks also to SACE’s excellent work, we are stepping up our support for Italian companies that invest and export to Turkey to minimize the economic impact of the two conflicts on the country’s borders and to revitalize our goal of increasing trade from 29 to 40 billion in the coming years,”, said Ambassador Giuseppe Manzo in his remarks. For his part, Bolat emphasized the close economic integration and cooperation—including within Europe—between the two countries, as well as the leading role that Italian companies have historically played in Turkey’s industrial development, making Italy Turkey’s second-largest trading partner in Europe and its largest in the Mediterranean.
