THE MILAN MODEL AS A DRIVING FORCE FOR INVESTMENTS THROUGHOUT ITALY?

The dynamic city of Milan with its excellent business environment can be considered the cornerstone of the national economy. As international business and talent hub, Milan is modelling the national guide lines for attracting business value.  The Milano’s main drivers are based on specific industry expertise (Life Science & Biotechnology, Creativity Industry, Financial Services, ICT & Media and Retail & Commerce), technology approach, human capital selection with high education systems and a very good real estate environment for developments & investments.

All this sounds weird according to the international reviews of the last few years with doubts about the reliability of the Italian system. Italy, as well as all the advanced countries, has its endemic problems but has always honored every commitment. Therefore, despite its “international economic reputation”, Italy remains the third-largest exporter in Europe and the seventh globally, where all Investors can find great business opportunities.

In Italy we do have Political instability that doeas not automatically cause an Economic instability. The Italian Republic grants all democratic principles & charateristics with a control and a guidance system in the hands of the Italian Republic President.  With these guarantees, controls and stainless principles Milan has been able to consolidate its economic & social assets and drivers even in the face of constant changes of Governments.

The national debates certainly celebrate the attractiveness of Milan, but they also raise similarly structured questions and development ideas for different areas and cities of the Country. Many cities and regions administrators have been working for some time to consolidate and improve their local assets, indirectly following the drivers that have driven Milan to the excellence in attractiveness.

With a lighthouse like Milan, the changes taking place in Italy will surely lead foreign investors to take the chance to select the excellent and numerous investment opportunities in Italy.
