Dal marmo all’innovazione, sino alle materie prime critiche: la sfida dell’internazionalizzazione della Regione Sardegna

The challenge of internationalization for the Sardinian region encompasses a wide range of sectors, from marble and stone processing to critical raw materials. Regional assessor Emanuele Cani presented a mid-term review of the plan, which has already engaged numerous companies in various activities, including participation in national and international trade fairs and exploring scenarios beyond the national territory.

Cani noted that the outcomes are positive, with the system being in place to provide opportunities for companies to enhance their relationships and promote growth.

Sardinia's marble and stone sectors are represented by approximately 70 companies, along with startups and other innovative businesses. The enogastronomy sector also plays a significant role, with a focus on international exports, particularly to Eastern and U.S. markets. Overall, the assessor expressed satisfaction with the progress made so far, while acknowledging there is still considerable room for growth.

Looking ahead, the assessor emphasized the importance of calibrating promotional activities for companies in both national and international contexts. The regional government and the assessorate intend to focus on the valorization of critical raw materials, such as rare earth elements, which demand strong international market presence. This sector is deemed crucial for the region's development, both locally and globally.
