The aim is to tell the story of the enterprises, their role in production and in society, and to show the development of a product or service and how an idea is transformed into a project and a passion is converted into a result.<\/p>\n<p>The SME Day will involve almost 90% of the Trade Associations in a number of initiatives that will be scheduled on different dates in Italy and abroad. In addition to the Balkan States \u2013 with the confirmed participation of Confindustria Albania, Confindustria Bulgaria, Confindustria Romania and Confindustria\u00a0Serbia\u00a0\u2013\u00a0the event will also be organised for the second consecutive year in Belgium, in association with the Confindustria Delegation in Brussels,\u00a0and in the United States,\u00a0in\u00a0cooperation with the Italian Embassy in Washington, the Miami\u00a0Scientific\u00a0Italian\u00a0<wbr \/>Community (MSIC),\u00a0ISSNAF, Baia,\u00a0Mayac,\u00a0AbroadTo\u00a0the Community\u00a0of\u00a0Italian\u00a0<wbr \/>Companies\u00a0and\u00a0Orgoglio Brescia. Thanks to this network, more than 50 Italian companies operating in the United States will meet with around 1,200 American students to illustrate the points of excellence of Made-in-Italy products and the values that make our enterprises big around the world. The celebration of this SME Day is becoming increasingly international also thanks to the patronage granted by the Ministry of Foreign Affairs and International Cooperation. Through continuous cooperation with Confindustria\u2019s Made-In\u00a0Technical Group\u00a0chaired by Paolo\u00a0Bastianello,\u00a0also this edition will be mainly focused on combating counterfeited products, extending the debate to <i>Italian sounding<\/i> products and the protection of intellectual property rights. The debate will also include promoting the culture of prevention and resilience through the Emergency Management Programme (PGE). This Programme \u2013 born of the experience of Confindustria Fermo during the 2012 earthquake in Emilia \u2013 was developed at the initiative of the Small Industry section in the aftermath of the earthquake that struck Central Italy in 2016 and\u00a0has become an all-around national project consolidated through the synergy with the Civil Protection Service. It is principally aimed at planning, coordinating and monitoring the support activities provided to companies and the population in case of emergencies but also at implementing initiatives to promote the culture of prevention in companies at local level through a constructive public-private cooperation effort.<\/p>\n<p>The\u00a0partnership\u00a0with\u00a0<wbr \/>Confagricoltura continues at local level in: Alessandria, Bergamo,\u00a0Brescia, Gorizia, Lecce,\u00a0Novara,\u00a0Nuoro, Siracusa,\u00a0Torino\u00a0and\u00a0Vercelli.
