Participating from Italian, European and International organizations, development agencies, companies, investment banks, foundations, international organizations, NGOs, research centers, Universities and social impact actors. The creative process as well as the organizational efforts carried out together with our partners Diplomacy and Sustainaway, have been at the heart of our mission: creating an annual meeting-point to share ideas and discuss one of the most central themes of today’s socio-political paradigm: International Cooperation and Sustainable Development. We are strongly committed to bring together all development actors, from traditional development players to new actors represented by the private sector, directing business towards development cooperation and fostering investments and innovation. Indeed, with this expo, we want to launch Rome, the third International hub of UN organizations, as the Mediterranean capital of development cooperation focused on: sustainability, innovation and profit-oriented. Apriamo i battenti di EXCO2019 dando il benvenuto a tutti i partecipanti: delegazioni da 45 Paesi del mondo, istituzioni italiane, europee e multilaterali, agenzie di sviluppo, aziende, banche di investimento, fondazioni, organizzazioni internazionali, ONG, università, centri di ricerca. Il grande sforzo creativo e organizzativo che, assieme ai partner Diplomacy e Sustainaway - abbiamo profuso per dare vita a questa manifestazione è stato perpetrato con l’obiettivo di creare un appuntamento fieristico che fosse allo stesso tempo un momento espositivo e un punto di incontro e dibattito su uno dei temi più centrali per l’agenda politica e sociale: la cooperazione. Ci siamo impegnati per mettere assieme tutti gli attori del settore, puntando a coinvolgere, oltre a quelli tradizionali, il mondo privato e profit. Un approccio del tutto in linea con la grande attenzione che sempre più la cooperazione sta rivolgendo alle imprese, nell’ottica di far procedere business e sviluppo a braccetto, con una logica di mutua promozione. Con questo appuntamento vogliamo candidare Roma, terza città al mondo per sedi ONU, a porsi quale Capitale mediterranea della cooperazione, che sia sostenibile, condivisa e profit.
