The Calabria Region has resumed the activities of the Consulta dei Calabresi nel Mondo after a seven-year hiatus. The organization aims to strengthen ties between the region and its global diaspora communities.

Regional leaders, including Vice President Filippo Mancuso and President Roberto Occhiuto, indicated a strategic shift toward using these international networks as drivers for economic development. The initiative seeks to move beyond cultural identity and ‘roots tourism’ to leverage the expertise of emigrants to attract investment, promote ‘Made in Calabria’ products, and increase exports. Regional Councilor Orlandino Greco is overseeing the establishment of this structured dialogue to foster entrepreneurship.
