Confindustria-Ice mission in Argentina and Brazil: over 2,600 meetings between Italian companies and local partners

The numbers of meetings between Italian companies and potential partner companies in the Mercosur area, 2,631, outline the dimensions, the largest in recent years, and opportunities of Confindustria's systemic entrepreneurial mission with ICE in Argentina and Brazil. Today in Buenos Aires, at Palacio Libertad, 1371 meetings are scheduled between 59 Italian companies and 317 Argentine companies. In Sao Paulo, on Wednesday, 1260 meetings are scheduled between 187 Brazilian companies and 65 Italian companies.

Dozens and dozens of round tables, three chairs for each, a crowd of Italian and Argentine entrepreneurs, crowd the halls of Palacio Libertad, in Buenos Aires, the monumental former Centro Cultural Kirchner, the largest cultural center in South America. Here 59 Italian companies are meeting 317 Argentine companies, looking for commercial agreements and, above all, new possible partnerships. Lively atmosphere, a climate of friendliness that also seems to prevail over the technical contents at the center of the company-by-company insights. Then what really counts are the contents, the opportunities, the quality, the technology. Made in Italy.

The president and general director of Viale dell'Astronomia, Emanuele Orsini and Maurizio Tarquini, pass between the tables, with the president of ICE Matteo Zoppas. They exchange a few words with the entrepreneurs. "This atmosphere is encouraging, stimulating, effective", "in just a few hours we have already met many Argentine companies, interest and opportunities are concrete", the Italian entrepreneurs tell him from table to table.

A few words from Orsini and Zoppas with everyone, an exchange of ideas to explore how things are going, good feedback, from table to table, it's like this for everyone, for every company present.

The glance is suggestive. There are perhaps even more than the 59 Italian companies counted since the last official update.

Between Buenos Aires today, and next Wednesday's meeting in Sao Paulo, never before in business missions abroad have there been so many business meetings between companies.
