The Ministry of Foreign Affairs and International Cooperation (MAECI) promotes the internationalization of Italian research and scientific diplomacy as a fundamental tool to develop the cooperation between Italy and the rest of the world.
It is the MAECI’s conviction that there can be no economic development without innovation and support for scientific research.
Maintaining competitiveness in increasingly complex global markets requires the constant application of new technologies to production processes in order to obtain innovative products with high added value. It is therefore necessary to continue to invest in Italy’s growth, with a special focus on the innovative sectors in order to promote positive economic and commercial spin-offs.
