BEYOND BREXIT:NEW BUSINESS OPPORTUNITIES IN THE UK

Trade relations between Italy and the United Kingdom are moving towards a new phase after the recent signing of the Memorandum of Understanding on strategic dialogue for the promotion of exports and bilateral investments in the post-Brexit context.

Made in Italy is certainly appreciated in the agri-food sector and in fact our country is the second largest exporter after France. According to Export Planning data, as regards packaged foods and beverages, the forecasts for the three-year period 2023-2026 indicate a strong increase in Italian exports which should go from almost €3.7 billion (2022) to 4.7 billion (2026).

For the construction, furniture and design sector, the 2023-2025 forecasts indicate a growth in demand from the United Kingdom market of more than €8.1 billion. Italy has in fact consolidated its position as the leading supplier of designer furniture in the country; London in particular has become a brand, with its countless architectural studios, 75% of which work on international projects.

To illustrate new collaboration prospects and operational tools to be competitive on the English market, the Cuneo Chamber of Commerce, in collaboration with Ceipiemonte scpa, is organizing the webinar “Business opportunities in the UK”, which will take place on April 2, starting at 10:00. The meeting includes an introductory scenario session, followed by sectoral insights on agri-food and furniture/construction/design.
