Presentation of the OICE 2025 Foreign Report

On 27 October 2025, the OICE 2025 Foreign Report was presented at an event held in Rome, in the suggestive setting of Villa Madama. The event, promoted by OICE (Association of Engineering, Architecture and Technical-Economic Consultancy Organisations), in collaboration with the Ministry of Foreign Affairs and International Cooperation and the ICE Agency (ITA), provided an updated overview of the data, statistics and guidelines for promoting the internationalisation of Italian businesses around the world.

Italferr was among the protagonists at the event, with a speech delivered by Irene Gionfriddo, Director of Foreign Business Development, Business Affairs and Sustainability at Italferr, as a member of the panel on “Climate change, AI and digitalisation, local communities: challenges for Italian design around the world”.

Italferr operates globally, across five continents, from India, a country characterised by extreme weather events and consolidated design digitisation and maintenance planning, to the Middle East and Africa, where water scarcity and high temperatures require innovative solutions, tailored to the development prospects of the area affected by these critical issues.

Whatever the geopolitical and economic context, Italferr consistently aims to safeguard the health and safety of people, respect for the environment and the systemic development of green mobility networks.

Crucial to this approach is adapting engineering and hi-tech solutions to the specific needs of the client and the local communities. Italferr does not carry out its work but also actively adopts and promotes knowledge transfer processes, aimed at implementing technical and digital skills development programmes for local engineers and technicians, to create a positive and lasting impact on the host communities.

The presentation of the OICE Foreign Report was an opportunity for sharing and establishing synergies, as well as an opportunity to consolidate Italferr's role as a driver of infrastructure innovation, serving the country and future generations, while also promoting engineering culture around the world.
