A “System-Level” Strategy for Italian–Indian Cooperation
The Italian government’s Action Plan for exports to non-EU foreign markets, together with the financial and insurance tools offered by Sace and Simest, as well as the ICE structure, provide key support for relaunched bilateral relations.
In the current geopolitical context—marked by a growing polarization between the U.S. sphere of influence and the Chinese one—India represents a highly promising “third way” for European companies: a dynamic country with which to build profitable industrial and commercial partnerships.
This is the message emerging from the Italian-Indian working group meeting these days in New Delhi as part of the ninth edition of EIMA Agrimach India, the agricultural machinery exhibition organized by FICCI and FederUnacoma.
In a strategic sector such as agricultural machinery, Italian–Indian cooperation requires companies to invest, establishing production sites in the Subcontinent, but also demands public support and a coherent system-wide policy.
“The Italian agricultural machinery industry deserves to be promoted as a whole,” recalled the Italian Minister of Agriculture, Food Sovereignty and Forests, Francesco Lollobrigida, in a video message sent for yesterday morning’s opening ceremony, “for its wide range of technologies capable of combining productivity with environmental sustainability.”
It also requires export-support strategies and credit guarantees, as emphasized by the Italian Ambassador to India Antonio Bartoli, who attended the inaugural event in person and highlighted the intensification of forums and bilateral meetings between the two countries.

India today occupies a prominent place in Italy’s trade policies, being included in the Italian Export Action Plan for high-potential non-EU markets promoted by the Italian Ministry of Foreign Affairs and International Cooperation.
Within this Plan lies the Italy–India Scientific and Technological Business Forum, a biennial event fostering collaboration between the two countries, whose most recent edition was held in New Delhi last April.
Also supporting the Plan are the financing and insurance systems for Italian companies seeking to operate in India, developed by Italy’s national agencies Sace and Simest, which include agreements with major Indian financial groups.
