The Financial Times and Il Sole 24 Ore are co-hosting a special evening reception on September 9, 2025, ahead of the sixth edition of the Made in Italy Summit. This exclusive event, held at the Financial Times' headquarters, will bring together senior decision-makers from Italian and international businesses.

A high-level panel will explore critical themes for Italian exporters, in light of the ongoing economic and geopolitical shifts taking place this year.

This reception serves as a vital precursor to the October Made in Italy Summit, where policymakers, business leaders, and investors will convene to chart a course for Italy's sustained long-term economic growth.

Discussions will focus on:

Geopolitics, tariffs and trade

Exploring the impact of evolving international relations on trade agreements and market access for Italian goods, notably how US tariffs on EU exports will affect transatlantic exports, in which speciality food alone accounts for €7.8bn.

Supply chain resilience

Strategies for Italian businesses to build more robust and diversified supply chains in an increasingly unpredictable global landscape.

Digital transformation in exports

Leveraging new technologies and e-commerce platforms to expand reach and efficiency in international markets.
