“Bundling resources for Europe”<br />

He is the architect of the <strong>Partner</strong> <strong>Country</strong> presentation of <strong>Italy</strong>: Umberto Vattani, <strong>Italy</strong>‘s former ambassador<br />

to Germany and now President of ICE, the Italian Trade Commission. As a convinced European he is highlighting<br />

<strong>Italy</strong>‘s industrial contribution to sustainability.<br />

Your Excellency, what does<br />

HANNOVER MESSE mean to you<br />

personally?<br />

Umberto Vattani: After the truly tumultuous<br />

reunification years, I am<br />

very much looking forward to this vitally<br />

important Italian trade mission<br />

in Hannover. HANNOVER MESSE<br />

is a unique opportunity to shape and<br />

correct Germany’s perceptions of the<br />

Italian economy.<br />

Are we laboring under<br />

misconceptions?<br />

<strong>Italy</strong>’s passion for design, style and<br />

quality of life is well recognized. But<br />

in Hannover we will show that the<br />

quality of “Made in <strong>Italy</strong>” products<br />

people have come to know and value<br />

are the result of <strong>Italy</strong>’s highly advanced<br />

engineering base and are produced<br />

in accordance with the latest<br />

standards of economy and efficiency.<br />

We also have creative entrepreneurengineers<br />

committed to ongoing optimization.<br />

”We are mobilizing our R&D and hi-tech<br />

sectors to develop and adopt renewable<br />

energy solutions; and we are heavily investing<br />

in the development of efficient energy<br />

transmission systems. ”<br />

Umberto Vattani<br />

As <strong>Italy</strong>’s Ambassador, Umberto<br />

Vattani experienced post-reunification<br />

Germany first-hand.<br />

Now, as President of the Italian<br />

Trade Commission (ICE), he is<br />

overseeing <strong>Italy</strong>’s <strong>Partner</strong> <strong>Country</strong><br />

presentation.<br />
