Emilia-Romagna, a leader in Italy’s Food Valley, is driving innovation and excellence in the agri-food sector. The region works with universities, research centres and companies to promote sustainability, food quality and safety. Key areas of focus include advanced food machinery, packaging innovation and the integration of ICT in agri-food processes.

The region aims to boost exports, forge international partnerships and expand into new markets, particularly in Asia. Following Expo Dubai, Emilia-Romagna plans to showcase its excellence at Expo 2025 in Osaka, targeting key markets such as Japan, South Korea and Singapore. Singapore, a major financial and logistics hub, is seen as a key partner for new regional initiatives. Meetings with public institutions and agencies are planned to explore opportunities for collaboration and strengthen international trade efforts.

The mission to Singapore is to organise meetings with public bodies and agencies to explore opportunities for collaboration. The focus will be on building synergies with local players, enhancing regional promotion and leveraging Singapore’s strategic position as a commercial, financial and logistics hub to strengthen distribution channels and internationalisation efforts.
