The Chamber’s resources for participation in international fairs has increased by 20%. The contributions made available by the Chamber of Commerce of Reggio Emilia pass from €500.000 in 2013 to €600.000 in 2014. “The goal of this investment – says the Chamber’s President, Stefano Landi – is to strengthen the presence of Reggio Emilia in international markets, a presence that in 2013 generated €8.6 billion for our economic system, marking a + 1.8 % increase over 2012. These figures led us to quickly react, also in view of the fact that production costs have reduced by 3.45%.”
