USA: what prospects for our enterprises?

Unindustria Reggio Emilia in collaboration with Confindustria Emilia-Romagna promotes a regional project of business development on the United States, in collaboration with Octagona – Bonfiglioli Consulting Group. The purpose of the meeting is to examine the opportunities offered by the US market in light of its evolution under the new presidential mandate.

Although the Trump administration's trade policy introduces elements of uncertainty into EU-US trade relations, it is crucial to identify strategies and tools that can enhance the offering of products and services from regional businesses. In particular, in light of the tariff measures adopted by the United States against other major suppliers such as China, Mexico, and Canada, it becomes crucial to explore any opportunities to strengthen the presence of "Made in Italy" and open new market spaces.

With this in mind, the project aims to provide participants with useful tools and knowledge to overcome possible tariff and trade barriers, including considering the possibility of expanding their presence in the U.S. by opening local branches.

The program “Hi Mech + F&B”is aimed at the sectors of the Mech area and the Food & Beverage area.
