On May 6th, as part of the ADB Annual Meeting 2025, The Potential of the Italian Industry for Development Projects in the ASEAN Countries was held, a workshop in which the potential matching between the Italian industry and the ASEAN partners' development needs was explored.

The ADB Annual Meeting of the Board of Governors represented a great opportunity for the Italian private sector: it helped explore ways to collaborate on development projects to be realised in Asian countries. It also represented a context prone to establishing connections with domestic governments and companies and showing our industry's great potential, particularly in the sustainable infrastructure, clean energy and water sectors. The potential matching between the Italian industry and the ASEAN partners' needs was explored during the event.

The meeting featured speakers including Barbara Cimmino, Vice President for Export and Investment Attraction, Confindustria, Riccardo Barbieri Hermitte, Director General of the Treasury, Minister of Economy and Finance, Tullio Buccellato, Economist, Research Center of Confindustria, Michelangelo Pipan, President, Italia – ASEAN Association, Roberta Casali, Vice President for Finance and Risk Management, Asian Development Bank, Paolo Lombardo, Director International Cooperation for Development, Cassa Depositi e Prestiti, Ludovia Zigon, Member of the General Council of the National Federation of Italian Electrical Engineering and Electronic Industries – ANIE, Alfredo Ingletti, Vice President of the Association of Italian Engineering, Architectural, and Technical-Economic Consulting Organizations – OICE, Alberto Zerbinato, Vice President of the Federation of Italian Associations of Mechanical and Engineering Industries – ANIMA, Aldo Bellone, Vice President of the Italian Contractors' Association – ANCE, Veronica Squinzi, Vice President, Assolombarda.
