The process of establishing roots throughout the entire territory of AEPI – Confederation of European associations of professionals and businesses – continues, a reality which since 2019 has been active in representing the demands of small and micro-enterprises and professionals in a variety of sectors. The last piece, for the moment, is represented by the appointment of Leonardo Sposato from Cassano as president of AEPI Calabria. Engineer and entrepreneur in the field of business services in the agricultural and agri-food sector, Sposato holds the position of councilor for Public Works, Environment, Civil Protection, in the municipality of Cassano all’Ionio, in the province of Cosenza. The appointment took place during the fifth Made in Italy Meeting – an annual event promoted by AEPI – held on 21 and 22 May in Rome.
«I thank AEPI, starting with the national president Mino Dinoi, for entrusting me with this task. A choice that I will undertake to honor in the best possible way, in the interest of Calabria and the many entrepreneurial realities of this splendid territory. Our region has many excellences that deserve to be valorised, many economic operators who could, especially if networked, face the challenges of internationalisation. Bringing Calabria back to the center, this is my main objective”, said Sposato.
«The appointment of Leonardo Sposato is a further stage in the consolidation process of AEPI throughout Italy. In a few years the confederation has grown, keeping its mission firm: to bring the territories and their economic realities to the national spotlight, giving them the opportunity to forge synergies to increase their potential, opening a constant and profitable dialogue with the Region and the Chambers of Commerce. Calabria has all the right rules to have its say. I wish Leonardo good work, I am sure that he will be able to bring forward the requests of small businesses and professionals in Calabria”, said the national president of AEPI Mino Dinoi.
