In June 2025, Invest in Tuscany took part in two major international events to promote the region’s life sciences ecosystem and its support for foreign investors. At BIO Boston, one of the world’s largest life sciences exhibitions, the focus was on showcasing Tuscany’s strengths in biotech and pharma. Meanwhile, the Aftercare Forum in Seville offered a platform to share best practices in business retention and investor support, emphasizing the region’s ongoing commitment to international companies already established in the territory.
On June 18, at the Italian Pavilion of the BIO International Convention in Boston, the regional team will present a joint session:
Sara Iacopini, Lead Generation Manager, will outline Tuscany’s competitive advantages in the sector, including top-tier academic research, a vibrant innovation ecosystem, strong industrial clusters, and specialized regional expertise.
Marco Perrone, Business Retention Executive Manager, will share success stories of multinational companies already established in Tuscany, showcasing recent expansion projects and examples of tailored post-investment support.
Earlier in the month, Invest in Tuscany joined the 3rd edition of the Aftercare Forum, held on June 4–5 in Seville, Spain.
Organized by Andalucia TRADE, the Aftercare Forum is Europe’s leading event dedicated to enhancing post-investment strategies. Over two days, policymakers, practitioners, and aftercare professionals gathered to strengthen global aftercare capacity.
Filippo Giabbani, Head of International Activities and Investment Attraction at Invest in Tuscany, delivered a keynote during the opening masterclass titled “Leadership: the 7 traits of successful Aftercare leaders”, sharing best practices from the Tuscan experience with top IPAs from across Europe.
These two complementary events highlight the Region of Tuscany’s strategic commitment to attracting new investment and sustaining the long-term success of existing international businesses through innovation, collaboration, and institutional support.
