27 September 2026

MENA2050 CEO Eli Bar-On met with Dr. Eliomaria Narducci, Secretary General of the Italian Chamber of Commerce for Germany (ITKAM), for a discussion on strengthening trade, business, and innovation cooperation between Italy, Germany, and countries across the MENA region.
The conversation focused on the India–Middle East–Europe Economic Corridor (IMEC) and the opportunities it can create for stronger commercial ties, new partnerships, and greater private-sector involvement across the corridor.
They also explored how MENA2050 can work with European business networks and chambers of commerce to connect companies across the regions and help create practical opportunities for cooperation, investment, and innovation.
The exchange highlighted the important role of the private sector in translating greater regional connectivity into concrete economic opportunities and long-term partnerships.
MENA2050 thanks Dr. Eliomaria Narducci for the valuable exchange and looks forward to continuing the conversation and exploring opportunities for future cooperation.
