The answer is yes, one can talk about Internationalization and Sustainability by creating a link between these two worlds, going so far as to talk about Sustainable Internationalization.
What many companies find difficult, however, is the "how" to do it, since the topic of sustainability is still very idealized and not very concrete, especially for SMEs that do not have the tools and means to equip themselves with structures dedicated to studying this area.
Internationalization and sustainability: we understand what it means.
What does it mean to do internationalization sustainably?
In business practice, it implies the creation of a business model that makes the strategic objectives of internationalization paths complementary on the one hand, with those of social and environmental responsibility on the other. The structuring of internationalization paths, therefore, can no longer be based exclusively on product-related levers, but must also take into account the sensitivity and importance that the country in which one intends to arrive attaches to the "sustainability" dimension.
Hence the growing importance of Sustainable Internationalization.
While this increased attention represents a greater effort on the part of companies, improving their impact by working on ESG levers can translate into new opportunities for the company itself. This is because attention to certain issues creates an added value in the company's offering that, as also in the previous insights, is increasingly recognized and rewarded by both clients and partners, who are increasingly attentive to these issues.
Obviously, the level of sensitivity related to...
In recent decades, small and medium-sized enterprises have played an increasingly crucial role in the global economy, contributing significantly to job creation, economic growth and innovation. However, accessing international markets, adopting innovative practices, promoting sustainability and maintaining competitiveness remain critical challenges for many of these enterprises.
What challenges and opportunities lie ahead for SMEs that want to thrive in 2024?
2024 is shaping up to be a particularly challenging year, and the Geoeconomic Observatory Report sponsored by ISPI and INTESA SANPAOLO entitled "THE WORLD 2024 - the great fragmentation" offers an analytical picture of the geopolitical and economic dynamics that will shape the global marketplace.
The report highlights that the world is going through a period of profound transformation, with the economic crisis and geopolitical tensions fueling divisions and conflicts. New regional powers are emerging, while traditional global players, such as the United States and the European Union, face internal and external challenges that undermine their influence.
In the current context, there is an increase in economic protectionism, nationalism and trade tensions among major powers. Geopolitical dynamics are increasingly influenced by local interests, with growing competition for resources, markets and influence.
In this situation of great change, technology and innovation are key factors in shaping the new world order. Emerging technologies, such as artificial intelligence and blockchain, are revolutionizing crucial areas of the economy and geopolitics, while the challenges of cybersecurity and privacy are becoming more pressing.
The changes are thus accelerating and global: in...

What links Food and Beverage Export and TASTE?
TASTE, the prestigious food and wine event, concluded its 17th edition this year at the Fortezza da Basso in Florence. An event, organized by Pitti Immagine, which is aimed at food & beverage professionals and represents a strategic opportunity to explore the different nuances of taste and, above all, the potential in terms of business and export, and therefore internationalization of the sector.
The potential of the food and beverage sector (including export)
TASTE is more than just a food fair. It is a meeting place for producers, chefs, sommeliers and food & wine enthusiasts. And it is also a place of suggestions for growing your business by talking about internationalization and food & beverage exports.
Why does the Food & Beverage sector have extraordinary potential to promote?
Here are two reasons:
Its artisan excellence: TASTE enhances Italian artisan excellence, from cheeses to cured meats to wines and olive oil. These high-quality products, in fact, are increasingly in demand internationally, testifying to our "Made in Italy" which, with increasing strength, emerges and stands out in the international arena for all that it represents and describes as a mark of quality and excellence.
Tradition and innovation: Italy is famous for its culinary tradition, but also for its ability to innovate. Under this lens, TASTE offers a comprehensive overview of both aspects, demonstrating that tradition and innovation can coexist harmoniously.
What about the export of food and beverages?
Speaking of...

Serbia's Strategic Position as the Gateway to Western Europe
Situated at the heart of Southeastern Europe, Serbia is often hailed as the gateway to Western Europe, thanks to its strategic location. The country hosts three crucial European transport corridors: VII (the Danube River), X (the international highway and railway), and XI (linking Central Europe to the Adriatic Sea), establishing excellent connections with Western Europe and the Middle East.
Construction Sector's Pivotal Role in Economic Development
The construction sector in Serbia has played an important role in the country's economic development, most particularly in:
Infrastructure Investments: Serbia has made substantial investments in infrastructure projects, including roads, bridges, railways, and airports, enhancing both internal and external connectivity. Many of these projects receive support from international funding and partnerships.
Residential and Commercial Sector: Economic growth and housing demand have driven the need for new constructions in both residential and commercial sectors. Real estate projects and commercial developments have been prominent in major cities.
Foreign Investor Participation: Attracting foreign investors has been a priority for Serbia in the construction sector, offering incentives and favorable conditions. This initiative has led to increased diversification and internationalization of the industry.
Regulations and Standards: The Serbian government has worked to improve regulations and standards in the construction sector to attract investments and ensure the quality and safety of structures.
