The exhibition provides an opportunity to highlight Italy's business policies and free economic zone incentives in areas like automotive, aerospace, green supply chains, circular economy and life science. A comprehensive list of investment opportunities in the Italian real estate sector is available to all interested parties.

High level officials from the STCAIE and UMASI of the Italian Minister of Enterprises and Made in Italy, the governmental program Invest in Italy, including ITA's FDI Attraction Desks in Beijing and Hong Kong, and senior specialists from Invitalia (the Italian Agency for FDI attraction) will provide one‑stop investment advisory services for enterprises throughout the Fair.

Multiple thematic seminars will be hosted onsite, including "Policies and Opportunities for Foreign Direct Investment in Italy", scheduled for the afternoon of September 8, with presentations and Q&A sessions for enterprises to learn about Italy's FDI support system.

Chinese and international companies interested in investing in Italy can collect extensive information on investment procedures, project proposals, incentives and policy benefits.
