As a key figurehead of the EU, Italy has been at the centre of international political and economic development. While Italy has always been a focus for European trade and investment, the reform of corporate, tax and employment law is set to make Italy an even more attractive environment for both inward investors and national enterprises.

With a highly competitive, efficient and adaptable national industry and a history of forging bilateral relationships to enter other international markets, Italy is a key player on the international stage. Domestically, key sectors are showing strong growth, and developments in the energy, infrastructure, real estate and telecommunications sectors make it a prime market for national and international companies.
