Italian Ambassador Lorenzo Angeloni said today that elected enterprises would benefit from high level, specialised consultant and capacity upgrading programmes. They would also have opportunities to open up new markets and establish new partnership, especially with Italian enterprises.
Study tours and training would offer the firms access to international best practices, knowledge on markets, demands, designs and buyer standards.
"Through business co-operation, the project will help Vietnamese firms upgrade and be more competitive," Angeloni said. "Italian enterprises will also get opportunities to know and enter into one of the fastest developing economies in the world."
