Silvia Benati

Consultant and chief operating officer of a service cooperative for business internationalisation. After graduating in International and Diplomatic Sciences and in Economics at the University of Bologna, she works in Switzerland as Product and Project Manager. She realises the importance of involving Italian companies in large-scale projects and of easy financing to encourage their implementation. Then she decides to return home and make her skills of coordination and project creativity available to Italian SMEs in order to help them grow their business abroad. Specialised in the export of the agri-food chain, a key sector of Made in Italy, she is convinced that sustainability is an important driver of growth in foreign markets, and that we can all benefit from more environmentally friendly production, processing and sales techniques.
