The evening opened with speeches by Andrea Delfini, CEO & Founder of NERO Lifestyle and Blastness, Giovanni Bozzetti, President of EFG Consulting, and two key figures in the economic relations between Italy and the UAE: Abdulla bin Touq Al Marri, UAE Minister of Economy, and Valentino Valentini, Deputy Minister at the Presidency of the Council with a mandate for Investment Attraction.
