Iran has chosen Italy, and in particular Rome, for present their companies and businesses in the first manifestation of the great Shiite country throughout the West since 1979.

By 2020, the construction of 80 new airports and 3.500 hotels is planned.

Direct meetings – B2B – with at least 200 companies and 14 Italian banks, ready to listen to programs and partnership proposals. 

The reopening of trade relations with Tehran would bring immediate benefits in the oil sector, the hardest hit by international sanctions, and in the automotive sector. Huge investments in mining and transport are also planned. 

Piero little ones, sole director of Fiera di Roma and even earlier a pioneer of commercial relations with Iran, explains the meaning of the exhibition as follows: "The main objective is to put our companies in contact with realities in which there are possibility of development. Obviously in compliance with the rules. And Iran, with its 80 million inhabitants today represents what the United Arab Emirates were in the 2000s, a cultured country, large producer of oil, natural gas, petrochemicals and agro-food products, with vast development potential in the service and tourism sectors.
