Italian Festival Weeks 2010 draws to a successful end

By By Staff Report DUBAI - Following its success of the previous years, the Italian Industry and Commerce Office in the UAE (IICUAE) presented the fourth edition of its flagship event, the Italian Festival Weeks in the UAE, which concluded recently.

The event is a container of cultural and business activities that aims to enhance and strengthen the cultural and socio-economical bond between Italy and the UAE.

The Festival once again enjoyed the Patronage of the Italian Ministry of Economic Development and the Italian Embassy to the United Arab Emirates, and for the first time this year, also under the patronage of ENIT, the Italian Government Tourist Board.

Sponsors of this year's edition were the Sharjah Commerce and Tourism Development Authority (Title Sponsor), Khaleej Times (Regional Media Sponsor), International Herald Tribune (International Media Sponsor), Lavazza (Gold Sponsor), Saipem- ENI Group , Finmeccanica, Intesa San Paolo, Assicurazioni Generali, Floor System Company, Coral Beach Resort Sharjah, Kelmer Group, Airfrance-KLM, Dolce Antico, Padova Promex and Italian Quality Food.

The Italian Industry and Commerce Office, the organisers of the Italian Festival Weeks in the UAE, once again proved its strong network by merging the local Italian and international community with several operators (musicians, artists and prominent businessmen) who came directly from Italy especially for the events. It is a non-profit organisation founded in 1999 and recognised in 2009 by the Italian Ministry of Economic Development as the authorised Italian Chamber in the UAE.

As in the previous editions, the most successful Italian enterprise in the UAE was recognised. This year, the award was presented to Saipem ( ENI Group ) for their key role in some of the major oil and gas projects in the UAE.

The fifth edition of the Festival will be held once again between November and December.
