Mancuso Group had the honor of being selected among the 15 Italian companies in the Food and “Home System” sectors invited to participate in the initiative promoted by Intesa Sanpaolo dedicated to Italian SMEs and their development in the United Arab Emirates. The event took place in Dubai on April 23 and 24, featuring high-level discussions between the Italian entrepreneurial system and the UAE government leadership.
In addition to representatives from Intesa Sanpaolo, both from Italy and Dubai, the meeting was attended by the leadership of Simest, Sace, and ICE, as well as the Consul General of Italy in Dubai, Edoardo Napoli, and Ambassador Lorenzo Fanara. Representing the United Arab Emirates, Abdullah Al Marri, Undersecretary of Economy, and his assistant Abdul Aziz Al Nuaimi, shared their contributions.
During the proceedings, the agreements signed by Intesa Sanpaolo with Italian government entities (Simest, Sace, and ICE) to promote the internationalization of Italian companies were illustrated. The objective is to provide common tools and initiatives, starting specifically with the Emirati market, but with the goal of extending the collaboration to other strategic markets.

The program includes credit lines dedicated to SMEs intending to develop their business abroad, solutions for covering export-related risks, and direct investment opportunities in international markets. An initiative designed to consolidate and strengthen the presence of Made in Italy in global hubs.
Representing Mancuso Group, with the companies SicilyFood and Mancuso Vincenzo & C., were Vincenzo Mancuso, son of President Antonio Mancuso, and Luca Parla, General Project Manager of the Group. A prestigious occasion that confirms the commitment to growth and innovation beyond borders.
