Saudi Arabia and the tools to support the internationalization of companies, opportunities for SMEs in Lazio

The activation of these development paths is based on the strategic convergence between the government agencies of the two countries, which aim to simplify accessibility to insurance coverage and subsidized export financing. The presence at the working tables of representatives of Saudi EXIM Bank, SIMEST, Cassa Depositi e Prestiti and SACE demonstrates the desire to structure an integrated financial ecosystem capable of mitigating market risks and supporting the competitiveness of foreign companies. This opening process is accelerated by the guidelines of Vision 2030 programmatic plan, the Saudi state investment program aimed at transforming the state into a global logistics and industrial hub, encouraging the creation of public-private partnerships in the sectors of advanced construction, manufacturing technologies and technological craftsmanship.

In this framework of bilateral cooperation, the role of territorial coordination and monitoring bodies becomes fundamental to guide companies in the regulatory and bureaucratic folds of foreign markets. Roberta Angelilli, vice-president of the Lazio Region and councilor for Economic Development, confirmed the importance of institutional support for the growth of the local production system on an international scale. Giuseppe Lepore, President of MS Desk Italy, declared: “We wanted to organize this meeting at a particularly delicate moment for the Gulf area precisely to demonstrate how Saudi Arabia is today a country in great turmoil, capable of offering huge opportunities to Italian companies. Thanks to the commitment of Italian and Saudi institutions, important projects can be implemented and bring development to both countries. MS Desk Italy wants to be a bridge between these two great realities, accompanying more and more Italian companies in the Kingdom of Saudi Arabia”.
