Over 30 Italian construction companies to arrive to Belgrade – Italy & Serbia: Building Together conference on October 19-20

The conference called Italy & Serbia: Building Together, dedicated to construction and focusing on infrastructures in transport, utility services, energy, healthcare and tourism and the issues of urban and spatial planning, will be held in Belgrade on October 19-20, reported the Italian Trade promotion Agency ICE.

– There's great interest of Italian companies in the Serbian market, as confirmed by a large number of applications for the upcoming Belgrade gathering – says Giovanni Mafodda, director of ICE Belgrade.

– The initiative was started as part of an all-encompassing action of promoting and internationalizing Italian companies form the sector of construction and planning activities – Mafodda explains.

The action is being carried out by ICE in cooperation with Italian associations which bring together companies from the following areas: ANCE – Italian Construction Contractors' Association (with over 20,000 members) and OICE – the association for engineering, architecture and technical and economic consulting (with over 450 members).

More than 30 Italian companies will take part in the gathering, which is supported by the Embassy of Italy in Belgrade. They will be addressed by high representatives of Serbian institutions and organizations in charge of the relevant sectors. They will present the most important projects in individual areas.

At the same time, Italian companies will have the opportunity to meet their Serbian colleagues and get a complete picture of the construction sector in Serbia.

As Mafodda emphasizes, the interest of Italian companies in Serbia doesn't only pertain to entering the construction market, but is to a great extent directed towards establishing the cooperation with Serbian companies on different levels.

– In that sense, through this conference, we aim to provide information on circumstances and possibilities of doing business in Serbia, on the one hand, through presenting projects, primarily those defined by the Government of Serbia as priorities, as well as those pertaining to Serbia and the region, and, on the other hand, through presenting concrete experiences of Italian construction companies in Serbia. At the same time, we wish to provide all the necessary support to Italian companies which offer or seek cooperation with Serbian partners for activities in Serbia and potential joint ventures in third markets. Our Belgrade office is available to Serbian companies from the construction, engineering and planning sector, interested in meeting the Italian companies which will take part in the upcoming gathering – Mafodda announced.
