In the stunning setting of Fuerteventura, on December 4, 2024, a decisive step was taken towards a future of collaboration, innovation, and sustainable development. Two major entities, ASOFUER, the Association of Tourist Entrepreneurs of Fuerteventura, and Conflombardia, a key reference point for the Italian entrepreneurial network, signed a Memorandum of Understanding (MOU) that is set to become a milestone in the economic and cultural relations between Italy and the Canary archipelago.

This significant achievement was made possible thanks to the tireless efforts of Massimo Testa, Conflombardia’s Ambassador, who built strong connections between the two entrepreneurial ecosystems, facilitating the realization of this historic agreement.

An Understanding Born from Shared Visions

This collaboration is based on shared values: sustainability, respect for local traditions, cultural inclusion, and, most importantly, a mutual desire to create new growth opportunities for the entrepreneurial communities of both regions. This Memorandum is not just a document but a concrete commitment to building a future where collaboration and innovation are the pillars of development.

“Strengthening the ties between Italian companies and those of Fuerteventura means creating a cultural and economic bridge that enhances the resources of both regions,” said representatives of the two associations during the signing ceremony.

Ambitious Objectives for Shared Growth

The Memorandum outlines a clear and ambitious roadmap:

1. Promote bilateral investments to stimulate local and international economic development.
2. Support innovative and sustainable projects that integrate tradition with modernity.
3. Strengthen cultural, social, and economic ties between Italian and Fuerteventura communities.
4. Create new opportunities for entrepreneurs, managers, and young professionals through training and development programs.

Collaboration Areas: Innovation, Events, and Growth

The collaboration will focus on several strategic areas:

• Events and Conferences: Organizing forums, fairs, and workshops to foster dialogue between businesses.
• B2B Meetings: Facilitating direct exchanges between Italian and local entrepreneurs.
• Professional Training: Developing programs to enhance entrepreneurial skills and capabilities.
• Sustainable Projects: Promoting innovative initiatives that respect the environment and local traditions.

Action and Collaboration Thanks to Massimo Testa

This Memorandum would not have been possible without the dedication and commitment of Massimo Testa, Conflombardia’s Ambassador, who played a pivotal role in building this collaboration. Through his ability to connect diverse realities, he enabled a productive dialogue between ASOFUER and Conflombardia, turning this unique opportunity into a reality for both parties.

A Reciprocal Commitment

Both Parties have assumed well-defined roles to implement this agreement effectively:

• ASOFUER will provide logistical support and facilitate the integration of Italian entrepreneurs into the economic fabric of Fuerteventura.
• Conflombardia will identify Italian companies interested in investing and promote Fuerteventura’s opportunities through its network.

A designated representative from each Party will coordinate activities, and periodic meetings will monitor progress and outline new initiatives.

Looking Towards the Future

This agreement is much more than a formal understanding. It symbolizes hope for a shared future where innovation intertwines with respect for communities and the environment. It marks the first step in building an economic and cultural ecosystem that connects Italy and Fuerteventura, highlighting the excellence of both territories.

With an initial duration of two years, renewable, the Memorandum represents a unique opportunity to establish continuous and fruitful dialogue between two worlds, different yet complementary.

“This is a historic moment for our organizations and the communities we represent. We are laying the foundation for a future of collaboration, development, and mutual growth,” concluded representatives of Conflombardia and ASOFUER.
