« Go back Secretariat for Singapore and ASEAN/MENA
Markets
Inaugurated in Rubano
The role of Middle East & Asia Group is
consolidated as a strategic landmark for Italian companies targeting the UAE,
Thailand, Saudi Arabia, and now Singapore.
The landscape of support for the internationalization of "Made in Italy" has gained a new, fundamental asset. On February 13, 2026, in Rubano (Padua), the headquarters of Middle East & Asia Group was officially inaugurated as the Organizing Secretariat in Italy for the Italian Chamber of Commerce in Singapore.
The opening of this new office represents a strategic evolution for the group, which already successfully coordinates the Italian activities of the Italian Chamber of Commerce in the United Arab Emirates and the Thai-Italian Chamber of Commerce, in addition to managing the operations of Axis Gateway ME in Saudi Arabia.
With this inauguration, a coordinated outpost is consolidated, capable of offering unprecedented coverage across two of the world's most dynamic economic regions:
- ASEAN Area: With Singapore and Thailand serving as hubs for Southeast Asia.
- MENA Area: With a solid presence in the United Arab Emirates and Saudi Arabia.
The structure aims to be an operational point of reference for all Italian companies intending to launch or strengthen international growth paths. The goal is to offer not just logistical support, but genuine institutional guidance and targeted networking services to penetrate complex yet opportunity-rich markets.
The inauguration event saw wide participation from the local economic system and various institutions. Highlighting the initiative's value to the national production system, the event received significant attention through the official channels of Hon. Arianna Lazzarini and Regional Councilor Massimo Bitonci, underlining the synergy between private initiative and political-institutional support.
The new Organizing Secretariat in Rubano will act as a facilitator for companies requiring:
- Immediate operational support on Italian soil.
- Direct access to international chamber networks.
- Structured consultancy for participating in tenders, trade fairs, and development projects within the MENA and ASEAN regions.
This initiative aligns perfectly with the activities promoted by FederCamere, aimed at strengthening the presence of our industrial and artisanal excellence in the most competitive global contexts.
