Forte Holding at the Verona Forum exit session

The First visiting session of the Verona Forum was held in Rostov-on-Don. The main topic was the prospects for international cooperation in the field of industry and innovation in the period of overcoming the pandemic.

On behalf of the Governor, the forum participants were welcomed by the Deputy Head of the region, Alexander Scriabin. The heads of the largest Russian and Italian companies also shared their opinions with the gathered participants and colleagues. Forte Holding, which closely cooperates with the Italian industrial sector, headed by President Alexander Denisov, also took part in the session.

Alexander Vladimirovich summed up the results of the Holding's activities for 2020, noting that despite a number of restrictive measures related to the pandemic, the company managed not only to maintain its leading position in the industry, but also to increase turnover by 20%. And for the first quarter of 2021, the company's turnover increased by more than 50% compared to the same period last year. This allows the Holding to look forward to the future with hope and plan new growth points.

Within the framework of the forum, a working meeting was also held with the participation of the Chairman of the Board of Directors of Banca Intesa, Antonio Fallico, at which joint investment projects to increase the capacity of the production cluster of the Forte Holding were discussed.

Holding the forum in our region is a testament to the development of cooperation with Italian partners, an excellent opportunity to discuss the most pressing issues of trade and economic cooperation and outline prospects for further development.
