WA trade message sold in Italy

A BUSINESS mission has taken WA’s trade and investment message to Italy.

The mission is being led by John Bradshaw, the Parliamentary Secretary assisting the Minister for Tourism.

Eight local exporting businesses are taking part along with officers from the WA Department of Commerce and Trade, the WA Tourism Commission and the Ministry for Culture and Arts.

The mission follows an agreement between Premier Richard Court and Toscana region President Vannino Chiti on economic and cultural collaboration.

The memorandum of understanding recognised many shared economic factors between the two regions such as sustainable development and predominance of small and medium-sized firms with a high level of quality and export orientation.
