The journey towards the National Export Conference 2026 continues with a new stop dedicated to businesses from Southern Italy.
On 16 June 2026, at the Conference Centre of the Fiera del Levante in Bari, the event “Export Focus: Businesses and Regions of Southern Italy towards the National Export Conference 2026” will take place. This is the second stage in a series of regional events promoted by the Italian Ministry of Foreign Affairs and International Cooperation, together with ICE Agency, CDP, SACE and SIMEST, with the support of Unioncamere and Confindustria.
The initiative aims to gather the needs of the local productive ecosystem and foster dialogue between businesses, institutions and internationalisation stakeholders. It will present a range of tools supporting companies, with particular focus on SMEs and the industrial and cultural excellence of Southern Italy. The goal is to help define shared strategies for growth in international markets and to promote Made in Italy, in line with the Export Action Plan.
Promos Italia, together with Unioncamere, will be present to meet companies from Puglia, Basilicata, Calabria, Campania, Molise and Sicily. They will showcase services, pathways and tools designed to support SMEs in their internationalisation process: from export orientation and training to digital export solutions, business matching opportunities, and access to funding schemes and grants.
The programme also includes the “Growth Lab”, dedicated to showcasing Italian excellence, with the support of experts from the Ministry of Foreign Affairs and International Cooperation, guiding businesses in approaching international markets.
