Piedmont Forges "Blue" Alliance with Tajani for Export Push: 27 Million Euros Allocated

Piedmont, Italy – In a significant show of support for regional economic development, Deputy Prime Minister Antonio Tajani joined Piedmont President Alberto Cirio to unveil a substantial new initiative aimed at bolstering the region's export capabilities. The "azzurro" (blue, referring to Forza Italia's party color) axis between Tajani and Cirio, both prominent figures in the party, underscores a united front in promoting economic growth and international trade for Piedmontese businesses.

If I arrived late it wasn't because I'm the usual southerner, but because the plane wasn't leaving from Rome.

During his visit to the OGR in Turin, Tajani emphasized the importance of keeping production within Italy, a crucial message for businesses considering international expansion. President Cirio, drawing inspiration from the economic principles of Piedmontese luminary Luigi Einaudi, highlighted the government's commitment to supporting private enterprise through state-backed infrastructure development. This approach aims to foster an environment where businesses can thrive and compete on a global scale.

The newly announced integrated supply chain projects represent a significant increase in funding, rising from 17 million to 27 million euros over the next three years. This investment is specifically designed to assist micro, small, and medium-sized enterprises in navigating the complexities of foreign markets. The program offers comprehensive support, including participation in major international trade fairs, business-to-business meetings, personalized services, and growth opportunities across ten key regional sectors such as automotive, aerospace, and agri-food.

We offer companies complete support: from participation in major international trade fairs, such as those dedicated to automotive and aerospace, to b2b meetings with foreign operators, incoming initiatives and personalized support services, as well as growth and aggregation paths.

This initiative is particularly vital for Piedmont, a region with a strong industrial base that relies heavily on its ability to export. While international media might focus on the political figures involved, for us in Piedmont, this is about tangible support for our local economy. It's about creating jobs, fostering innovation, and ensuring that our region's excellent products and services reach a global audience. The increased funding and structured support demonstrate a clear strategy to enhance our competitiveness and attract further investment, reinforcing Piedmont's position as a key economic player.

It is a targeted investment to support growth, employment and innovation, as well as to present the excellence of the regional economy in a systemic dimension, also with a view to attracting investments.
