A series of roadshows tied to the SelectUSA initiative have been held in Treviso, Bologna, and Milan, bringing together Italian enterprises and US state-level investment bodies. These events included commercial, R&D, assembly, and manufacturing activities. They aimed to match Italian firms with US Economic Development Organizations (EDOs) from over 20 states, such as New York, Florida, Illinois, and Texas.

Institutions like Simest, the American Chamber of Commerce in Italy, Assolombarda, and several regional branches of Confindustria back the effort. Wrapping up the momentum. To close the networking tour, the US Consulate General in Naples, in collaboration with SIMEST—Italy’s public agency supporting internationalisation—hosted a reception with representatives from several US states on March 21.
