The regional plan for internationalization finances the participation of Sardinian companies in two initiatives organized by the ICE, the Italian Agency for Foreign Trade. The events will take place in Singapore (nautical sector) and in Australia (agri-food sector).
The Singapore Yacht Show will take place from 11 to 14 April 2019. It is considered an international event for boating that covers different types of products, from yachts to luxury products and services as shipbuilding, brokerage, maritime services, components and accessories.

Fine Food Australia, scheduled in Sydney from 9 to 12 September, is an important commercial showcase for Italian products both on the Australian and international markets, given the large number of visitors coming from all over the world.
