Mario Vattani, Commissioner General
for Italy at Expo 2025 Osaka, participated in the 2024 edition
of Go International©, the export services fair organized by AICE
(Italian Foreign Trade Association - Confcommercio) with Trade
Events. He delivered a speech during the inauguration of the
fair in the panel "Export and competitiveness: the Italian
System in the global market", at the Allianz
MICO-FieraMilanoCity.
Now in its fourth edition, Go International© is the first trade
fair in Italy entirely dedicated to the themes of export and
internationalization. There are over 150 exhibitors present:
from the main institutions (ICE Agency, Simest, Sace, Agenzia
delle Dogane e dei Monopoli, Assocamerestero, Promos) to the
most renowned professionals in export consultancy and
international marketing, to digital export players (Alibaba.com,
Amazon Marketplace), to logistics companies, law firms,
financial institutions, international marketing companies,
temporary export managers, commercial offices and development
agencies from various countries. In one place, everything you
need to face the challenges of global markets. Over 3,000
Italian companies visited, who were able to find solutions for
their international business. "Thanks to a dense network of
institutional partnerships and trade associations, the Italy
Pavilion presents itself in Japan as a tool of the Country
System, with the aim of creating concrete opportunities for the
internationalization of Italian companies" underlined the
General Commissioner for Italy at Expo 2025 Osaka Mario Vattani.
"We will strengthen cooperation with Japan and the entire
Asia-Pacific area, updating Italy's image, presenting projects
in key sectors for economic development on technology, science
and high craftsmanship. I would also like to point out that the
Action Plan between Italy and Japan signed at the G7 in June,
includes interventions for industrial development and
investments. We will also bring to the Italy Pavilion the Made
in Italy Day, established by the Government at the end of 2023,
as the first event to celebrate, on the global stage of Expo,
Italian know-how, our excellence and our territories".
"On behalf of AICE and the entire Confcommercio, I would like to
thank Commissioner General Vattani for taking part in the
opening session of Go International©. It has been an opportunity
to make the many Italian companies present aware of the
importance that the Italy Pavilion will have during Expo 2025
Osaka to further affirm the image of Made in Italy in the world
and to facilitate the access of our companies to a
high-potential market such as the Japanese one," commented
President Riccardo Garosci.
On the occasion of Expo 2025 Osaka, AICE and Italian Fair
Service in collaboration with the Italian Chamber of Commerce in
Japan - among the partners of the General Commissariat for Italy
at Expo 2025 Osaka - are organizing an entrepreneurial mission
to Japan from 10 to 16 May 2025 with the aim of developing B2B
entrepreneurial activities and international development for
companies at the Italy Pavilion.
In addition to Commissioner Vattani and President Garosci, the
opening of Go International© was attended by Carlo Sangalli,
president of Confcommercio; Guido Guidesi, councilor for
Economic Development of the Lombardy Region; Fabrizio Lobasso,
Deputy Director General for the Promotion of the Country System
of the Ministry of Foreign Affairs and International
Cooperation; Lorenzo Berneri, Director of Communication and
External Relations SIMEST; Roberto Allara, Head of Sales PMI of
SACE; Enzo Spoto, Director of the Customs Office of Milan 3 of
the Customs and Monopolies Agency; and Giovanni Da Pozzo,

From April 13 to October 13, Expo 2025 Osaka will be the
opportunity to promote and develop the export of Italian
companies in the Asia-Pacific area, a strategic area full of
young and rapidly expanding markets. An opportunity not to be
missed to show the "state of the art" of our country: from
design to agri-food, from fashion to technology, from
infrastructure, to urban planning and energy, from science to
industry, with in-depth studies on aerospace, robotics, life
sciences and high technology up to pharmaceuticals and
biomedicine.
