(7 January 2016) The new international scenarios that open now that relations with Cuba have normalized suggest a revival in the economic development of the Caribbean country, with renewed opportunities for Italian companies and thus for the Tuscan territories, with particular attention to the sectors of construction and building materials, the furnishing industry, agribusinesses and food processing, pharmaceuticals, manufacturing and design systems, fashion, clothing and tourism. Broad prospects are also there for other sectors. And to discover the possibilities and future, Confindustria Toscana Sud, in collaboration with the non-profit organization Etica&Sviluppo, is organizing a meeting to provide interested companies an analysis of the Cuban economic and commercial landscape, as well as key information on investment, import / export and trade agreements and cooperation opportunities existing between Italy and Cuba. Speakers at the event will include the Ambassador of the Republic of Cuba, Soto Alba Beatriz Pimentel, and the State Secretary at the Ministry of Foreign Affairs with responsibility for Latin and Central America Mario Giro. The initiative, entitled “Cuba, new business opportunities for companies: cooperation and partnership for development” is scheduled for Monday, January 11, 5:45pm, at the headquarters of Confindustria, via dei Rossi 2, Siena.
