An economic partnership worth EUR 31 billion of investment by Japanese companies in Italy, with 58,000 jobs generated between 2015 and 2023.
Photographs and the potential of foreign direct investment in Italy were at the centre of the conference organised in Tokyo by the Ministry of Enterprise and Made in Italy on the occasion of the Tokyo leg of the world tour of the sailing ship Amerigo Vespucci and the Italy Village, the travelling exhibition of Italian excellence that accompanies the ship to eight key metropolises around the world.
Ntt Data strengthens in Cosenza
A tour that is proving to be not only a (certainly important) moment for the promotion of Made in Italy products, but also an opportunity for important political, commercial and industrial relations. Precisely on the sidelines of yesterday's conference (entitled 'Invest in Italy: where innovating is tradition') Ntt Data, a Japanese multinational that deals with system integration, announced a new investment in Italy for the construction of its pole in Cosenza. This was confirmed by Deputy Minister Valentino Valentini, following the agreement. "Ntt will increase its investment in Southern Italy, with 500 new jobs. This is a strategic investment for the group, because it is linked to the development of existing activities to support customers and a new Artificial Intelligence Lab, connected to the ambitious AI Metamorphosis project, which aims to guide companies in an evolution that impacts their entire organisation.
In addition to Ntt, Japanese companies with investments in our country included Denso, Hitachi, Ihi, Marelli Holdings, Marubeni, Mitsui, Mitsubishi, Nippon Sanso, NTT Data and Shionogi at the conference organised by Mimit inside the Vespucci ship. In all, there are now 557 Japanese direct investments in Italy.
Vespucci ambassador of made in Italy
"We are here with a piece of Italy and the Vespucci who is an itinerant ambassador proposing to foreign companies to invest in Italy," said Valentini. "Our country is ready to welcome companies with a renewed legislative and administrative apparatus, and strong in the historical friendship at the basis of relations between the two countries, which is strengthened every day in the collaboration and what Japanese companies do in Italy.
