International Trade & Business Development Leadership Mission to Italy 2025

SelectFlorida’s International Trade and Business Development Leadership Mission to Italy provides an opportunity to strengthen Florida’s maritime, trade, and international investment relationships with one of Europe’s most dynamic economies. The mission is centered around the grand opening of the SelectFlorida Italy Office in Milan and Florida’s presence at the Genoa International Boat Show—the largest event of its kind in Europe. This mission enables high-level engagements with global business leaders, reinforces ongoing commercial partnerships, and creates opportunities to attract new business and foreign direct investment (FDI) to the State of Florida.

The delegation will participate in business development meetings in Milan and Genoa, the 2nd Italy-Florida Ports MOU Working Group Meeting, targeted seminars, and high-level networking events to support Florida companies and promote the state as a premier destination for investment and global trade.
