By participating in Expo Business Matching, Intesa Sanpaolo will contribute to materially creating opportunities for Italian and foreign companies to meet, to optimize their common interests and business synergies at the Universal Exhibition. The agreement fits into Intesa Sanpaolo’s strategy for identifying new tools and initiatives to allow Italian businesses to grasp opportunities for making their business grow internationally, also by exploiting the potential of the Internet.
