PRESS RELEASE
\nUnderstanding and promoting the opportunities offered by foreign markets and fostering the global competitiveness of companies, especially small and medium ones, is one of the tasks of an international trade fair. Filo has been performing the job since its first edition, and today its exhibitors and visitors come from all over the world.<\/p>\n
Filo\u2019s commitment to internationalization is based on a fundamental criterion: quality.
\nThe quality of exhibitors and collections on display, along with the quality of international visitors, is not only a key factor for Filo, but also a determining factor in the selection of its participants.
\nThe commitment to quality is even more evident at Filo65. This edition is unique because it is held on the same days as the Milan-Cortina Winter Olympics, a highly attractive event that draws large numbers of people to Milan and puts Italy in the spotlight worldwide. However, this has posed some logistical challenges due to increased travel and accommodation costs, particularly for foreign buyers and visitors. And that makes quality an even more crucial factor.<\/p>\n
Filo\u2019s internationalization relies on teamwork involving the companies themselves and Filo organizers and includes effective collaboration with ITA- Italian Agency for the promotion abroad and internationalization of Italian companies, and the Piedmont Region. <\/p>\n
The synergy built by Filo with ITA-Agency for the promotion abroad and internationalization of Italian companies over the years, which has helped strengthen Filo’s international profile. For the 65th edition, ITA-Agency has guaranteed its support to the fair, made clear by the presence of Matteo Masini, Head of the Consumer Goods Office, at the opening ceremony and by its renewed patronage of the \u201cMade in Filo\u201d project.
\nFor the 65th edition of Filo, the synergy with ITA-Agency – Rome led to the organization of a delegation of 23 buyers from France, India, the United Kingdom, Portugal, China, Spain, Ireland, Hungary, and Finland.
\nITA-Agency has also renewed its patronage of \u201cMade in Filo,\u201d the fabric collection entirely produced by Filo using exhibitors\u2019 yarns. ITA-Agency recognized the importance of Filo’s initiative\u2019s ultimate goal: to highlight the quality of Italian manufacturing, which boasts a highly valuable supply chain thanks to its ability to collaborate throughout the production process.<\/p>\n
Internationalization is at the heart of the collaboration between Filo and the Piedmont Region, thanks to the Integrated Supply Chain Project (PIF) \u201cTextiles,\u201d funded by the ERDF 2021-2027 Regional Operational Program and managed through Ceipiemonte, the Regional Agency for Internationalization. As part of this project, during the 65th edition of Filo, \u201cBuyers\u2019 Days\u201d will be held on February 12th and 13th, a unique opportunity to connect international buyers with the excellence of the Piedmont textile sector.
\nNine professionals from Finland, France, Japan, Ireland, Portugal, and the United Kingdom will participate in the \u201cBuyers\u2019 Days.\u201d Through a packed program of meetings, buyers will have the opportunity to explore new business opportunities with the Piedmont textile companies present at Filo. Furthermore, to foster an even deeper understanding of the Biella textile district, B2B meetings will continue in the area with additional local companies.<\/p>\n
