Its port is the second largest in the world in terms of total shipping tonnage and is connected to over 600 other ports in 123 countries on 6 continents. Starting from this city-state, with its new company IEG ASIA, IEG aims to promote the business of Italian companies in this vast region so that they can export their products and their world-famous "Made in Italy" know-how all over the globe.”

“In the Group's international expansion strategy of the last three years,” adds Francesco Santa, CEO IEG Middle East, Dubai & international business development director IEG Group, “ASEAN represents one of the most interesting markets with about 600 million inhabitants and a GDP with one of the highest annual growth rates in the world. Singapore is the hub of the ASEAN area: that is precisely why we have acquired exhibition products in the historical sectors of IEG's Food & Beverage and Gold & Jewelry trade shows. But the objective goes even further: we aim to develop new events in Thailand, Malaysia, Vietnam, Indonesia and the Philippines, covering the key ASEAN markets with our leading exhibitions.”
