Implications for cross-border workers The growth of exports and the success of local businesses can have a significant impact on cross-border workers employed in Ticino and the Varese region. With the increase in exports, which reached a value of 1.2 billion euros for the province of Varese in 2022, an increase in job opportunities and greater job stability is expected. ### Comparison with the previous situation Before the Imprese Vincenti award, many companies in the province of Varese struggled to compete internationally. Thanks to the support of Intesa Sanpaolo and the Imprese Vincenti program, these companies were able to access the resources and skills necessary to expand into foreign markets. This has led to greater competitiveness and an increase in exports. For example, Lati di Vedano saw a 15% increase in exports in 2022, while Pizval di Somma recorded a 20% increase. ### Future scenarios With the increase in exports and the growth of local businesses, cross-border workers can expect a more dynamic and diversified job market. Award-winning companies, such as Lati di Vedano and Pizval di Somma, could offer new job opportunities and cross-border collaborations, fostering the exchange of skills and knowledge between Italy and Switzerland. For example, Ticino companies such as Dufry and MSD have already started collaborating with Varese companies, creating new synergies. ### Comparison with other regions The province of Varese stands out for its export growth, surpassing other Lombard regions. This success can be attributed to the internationalization strategy and the ability of local businesses to adapt to global markets. Cross-border workers employed in Ticino can benefit from this growth, taking advantage of new job opportunities and greater economic stab...
