“In this complex economic phase, export is a crucial ingredient to resilient companies and digital synergies have become vital to support businesses. This is why SACE values C2FO as a strategic partner, to promote the ‘Made in Italy’ growth in the world and to reach high potential emerging markets in which our presence and instruments can make a tangible difference,“ said Pierfrancesco Latini, CEO of SACE.

“We are honored to partner with SACE in supporting international expansion,” said Alexander “Sandy” Kemper, founder and CEO of C2FO. “Our mission to provide all businesses worldwide with the capital needed to grow relies on the collaboration with organizations like SACE and companies of all sizes.
