“The opening represents a strategic step in our development path in the region and an operational hub designed to support local companies and investors interested in Italy and vice versa, with a view to continuous growth and international expansion,” explains Stefania Radoccia, managing partner of BIP Law and Tax. “The Gulf area, and particularly the United Arab Emirates, represent a dynamic environment, where the ability to build solid institutional and industrial relationships goes hand in hand with the need for operational tools and specialized expertise.”
“Abu Dhabi today plays an increasingly central role in the regional and global economic landscape. As a financial and decision-making hub for sovereign investments and long-term industrial strategies, it is consolidating its position as a natural bridge between European industrial excellence and Middle Eastern capital. In this context, it also supports the strengthening of economic cooperation between the United Arab Emirates and Italy. At the same time, its connectivity, regulatory stability, and geopolitical positioning make it a strategic platform for accessing high-growth markets, particularly in Africa, Southeast Asia, and India”, commented John Shehata.
