This cooperation aims to strengthen bilateral ties, solidify mutual benefits, and support the business communities of both countries. 

    Marco Luongo, Deputy Trade Commissioner at the Italian Embassy’s Trade Promotion Office, said that the B-CAD Emirates Convention offers a valuable platform to strengthen collaboration between Sharjah and Italy in the field of innovation and sustainable technology within the real estate sector.
