Why do we look to international markets?
We strongly believe in the potential of the Italian agro-livestock system in foreign markets . We are personally committed because the International Livestock exhibition are Italy’s only specialized agro-livestock event and the only one with an international scope. A role and position that we are recognized for both in Italy and abroad.
The long-standing collaboration between the ICE Agency and CremonaFiere is also confirmed for the 2023 edition of the Cremona International Livestock exhibition, with the primary objective of promoting the internationalization of the agro-livestock sector and making the excellence of the Italian production model known in the world.
Internationalization comes through direct involvement of the right players from the most attractive markets for the industry. In fact, by inviting highly qualified foreign interlocutors, opportunities for new business abroad are multiplied. The operators to be involved are identified by Agenzia ICE’s network of foreign offices, analyzing international markets and trends in synergy with CremonaFiere.
With reference to Livestock exhibition 2023, Agenzia ICE handled the scouting and invitation of more than 50 buyers from 17 countries who will visit the Event and meet exhibiting companies to establish and consolidate new and profitable business opportunities.
At the International Media Lounge located in Hall 2, ICE Agency staff will also be present to provide information and assistance to interested companies.
Agenzia ICE has been providing, for over 90 years (1926), information, assistance, consulting, promotion and training services for small and medium-sized Italian companies in all industrial sectors, through a qualified and competent organization and an extensive and widespread foreign network of offices (78 including 64 Offices and 14 Correspondence Points). For the promotion of the domestic agribusiness sector, Agenzia ICE organizes collectives of Italian companies at major international trade exhibition, single- or multi-topic seminars and workshops, training courses for buyers, chefs and online and offline promotions of Italian products with major foreign retailers.
In addition, Agenzia ICE is a partner of numerous Associations, Local Authorities and Consortia together with which it fosters the matching between Italian food supply and foreign specialized demand, including by inviting buyers on the occasion of incoming missions for the purpose of letting them know and appreciate up close the inestimable value of food quality, tradition and culture related to it, as well as the Italian style and creativity that make products unique. Since 2015, with the launch of an innovative multi-channel strategy, Agenzia ICE has been supporting the digital transformation of Italian companies through e-commerce and international platforms active in foreign markets.
