The collaboration between Made in Steel and ITA-Agency continues and strengthens ahead of the eleventh edition of the exhibition to support the internationalization of the Italian steel industry.

ITA - Italian Trade Agency is the Governmental agency that supports the business development of Italian companies abroad, supports the global positioning of Made in Italy products and promotes the attraction of foreign investment in Italy.

Launched in 2015, the partnership has helped to boost Made in Steel’s international profile, bringing an increasing number of foreign buyers to the event and creating new business opportunities for exhibitors.

For the 2025 edition, buyers from ten strategic countries will be involved: China, Germany, Slovenia, Spain, Poland, the Republic of Korea, Turkey, Vietnam, the Czech Republic, and India.
The invited buyers include professionals from key sectors: EPCs (Engineering Procurement Contractors), purchasing managers for raw materials at leading industrial groups, and major end-users of steel such as machine tool manufacturers, transport equipment producers, and metal fabricators.
