In a technology-intensive sector with a natural international focus, Apogeo Space has structured its growth strategy by maintaining an active presence in key global markets. Participation in industry trade fairs is a core tool for the company, serving both as a means for scouting the IoT market and for generating new business opportunities.

Throughout this journey, the support provided by Confindustria Brescia and Confindustria Lombardia, through the Enterprise Europe Network (EEN), has been essential. The network has assisted the company in its partner search activities via the EEN database, facilitating the identification of international counterparts aligned with Apogeo Space’s business. Concurrently, this support has included the consistent identification of relevant B2B trade fairs and industry events, helping to increase opportunities for engagement with international partners and stakeholders.

Among these, participation in GITEX Berlin 2025—the first European edition of one of the most significant global events for the tech world—provided a major opportunity for visibility and networking. Through the channel facilitated by EEN, Apogeo Space was able to expand its international network and establish qualified contacts, including a collaboration with a Maltese company for the development of an innovative project.

The Apogeo Space case highlights the value of the services offered by the Enterprise Europe Network in supporting SMEs through internationalisation processes, using dedicated tools for partner searches and access to business opportunities in foreign markets. This path is further strengthened by the contribution of national support systems and the facilitating role of Confindustria Brescia.
