Focus On Genoa: A Gem Of Opportunities, From Past To Future

Financial Centres Of The World 2023: A Gem Of Opportunities, From Past To Future Genoa is a vibrant city with a harbour on the Mediterranean sea and a rich historical significance in the world of finance. The Bank of Saint George (Banco di San Giorgio) was founded in Genoa in 1407 and is considered the world's first public modern bank. In the same year the first insurance company in the world, known as the "Casa di San Giorgio”, was established. Genoa and England share St George's Flag, symbolising a rich shared history between the two. Today Genoa is an important economic hub in Italy with a diverse range of industries including shipping, manufacturing, finance, and tourism. With a €7.5 Billion investment planned in infrastructure, including the new “waterfront” reimagined by the Genoese international architect Renzo Piano, transport networks, port logistics, shipping, and urban development, Genoa is able to attract business and contribute to economic growth, creating investment opportunities. Creating a Greater City Area consisting of Genoa, Milan, and Turin could potentially have a significant economic impact and contribute to the second largest GDP of the Eurozone, with a target to be the largest in the future.
