GIANLUCA
MARANO

For 15 years, I have been accompanying companies on their path to growth abroad.

"The beauty of a product is seen in the eyes of the entrepreneur. It is not a question of words. It is a question of light."

The first chapter of my book 'Going Beyond Borders' begins with these words. To discover the light of winning business and to guide companies along a path of internationalization, which enhances their know-how with a vision always oriented towards the future and innovation.

This is my mission.

You know, from a passion often comes the opportunity to create something unique.

The constant desire to innovate and to get out of one's comfort zone, combined with a passion for travel, has led me to embark on an entrepreneur-oriented path in recent years to support those who want to expand their boundaries and exploit the potential of foreign markets.

I began my career at Fininvest alongside Ennio Doris and Silvio Berlusconi, two personalities who transmitted to me the authentic values of Italian entrepreneurship. Then Unicredit, Banco Popolare, and Sudtirol Bank, large international groups that broadened my vision of the world.

But that career tied to a role limited me. I felt the need to act, to get out of my comfort zone.

So, in 2009, I founded SVA Group, an international consulting company based in Italy with several offices in Europe, the United States, and the Middle East, to offer innovative, sustainable, and scalable solutions to companies and entrepreneurs who want to expand their business abroad.

ENHANCING MADE IN ITALY IN THE WORLD WITH SUCCESSFUL PARTNERSHIPS

Thanks to the know-how and a team of professionals gained over the years, I have collaborated with leading institutions and business partners. These include Innovation House, the initiative conceived by the President of Fondazione Politecnico di Milano Andrea Sianesi to promote Made in Italy companies abroad.

Innovation House, during the period of Expo 2020 Dubai, has been a winning model of acceleration and support for Made in Italy companies. SVA Group, as an official partner of the initiative and collaborating with corporate entities such as Intesa Sanpaolo Innovation Center, promoted events and B2B meetings, helping to create networking, training, and business opportunities for interested Italian companies.

I have been working with Gianluca Marano and SVA Group for years.
Gianluca is a smart and forward-looking entrepreneur: a true professional in the field of internationalization, with a partner approach and decades of experience in SMEs, start-ups and international markets.

WHERE SHOULD
COMPANIES FOCUS TODAY?

Internationalization is not only a question of choice of markets but also innovation and sustainability. In an increasingly globalized and competitive world, it is crucial to be able to adapt one's products and services to the needs and preferences of different markets, using new technologies and digital solutions to reach and retain customers.

At the same time, it is necessary to consider the environmental and social impacts of its activities, respecting the principles of responsibility and transparency that are increasingly demanded by consumers and institutions.

For this reason, my mission as Founder & CEO of SVA Group is to accompany Italian companies in an innovative and sustainable internationalization process that enhances not only their know-how but also their ability to create value for the territory and society.

EDITORIAL PUBLICATIONS

Writing has always been my passion. With my words and the experiences I have gathered, I want to convey to entrepreneurs and professionals the opportunities of Made in Italy exports to give the impetus to the many companies still undecided to start on a path towards internationalization and digital exports.
