(Oct. 10 oct) La Serenissima bets on foreign markets with the collaboration agreement signed by Confindustria Venezia and SACE, the insurance and financial group that supports the growth and competitiveness of Italian firms. The objective of the agreement is to strengthen the support to export activities and internationalization of enterprises in the province, through the insurance and the guarantee of the risks to which they are often exposed, directly or indirectly, in their activities in foreign markets. Particular attention will be given to SMEs. “Exploring new markets, especially the emerging ones, it is now a necessary and essential condition for the survival of our businesses, “ stressed out Matteo Zoppas, President of Confindustria Venezia, “but there are many factors to be explored before starting a new business: knowledge of the geopolitical situation, rules and regulations of import/export, investment risks and reliability of business partners.” (red)
