    Held at SCCI’s headquarters, the Convention was attended by H.E Abdallah Sultan Al Owais, Chairman of SCCI; H.E Lorenzo Fanara, Ambassador of Italy to the UAE, and H.E Valerio Soldani, Director of the Italian Trade Agency (ITA) in Dubai.

    Esteemed officials taking part in the event also included Marco Luongo, Deputy Trade Commissioner at the Italian Embassy’s Trade Promotion Office, along with representatives from leading Emirati and Italian companies specialising in construction, design, and architecture.

    During the event’s plenary sessions, the Italian side put spotlight on the next edition of the International Trade Fair B-CAD (Building-Construction Architecture Design) which is scheduled in Rome from October 31 to November 2, 2024. A formal invitation was extended to the Chairman of the Sharjah Chamber to attend the event. 

    The sessions delved into exploring potential avenues of bilateral collaboration between the UAE and Italy in the construction and design sectors. Notably, the UAE is a key destination for Italian exports in interior design and furnishings, with exports totaling EUR 300 million in 2023, reflecting a 5.75% growth, with expectations for further increase this year.

    Highlighting the ever-growing ties between both sides, H.E Abdallah Sultan Al Owais affirmed that relationship between Sharjah’s and Italy’s private sectors now encompasses not only commercial activities but also the exchange of expertise, knowledge, and best practices in various fields, including sustainable design, which was the focal point of the Sharjah Chamber’s convention.

    Commending Sharjah’s economic and urban progress, H.E Lorenzo Fanara expressed the Italian Embassy’s readiness and eagerness to collaborate with the Sharjah Chamber across multiple domains. 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. It also facilitates the exchange of expertise and the best practices related to sustainable technology which are pivotal in reshaping the construction industry.
