Locally, the regional Minister for Agriculture, Alessio Mammi, has promoted the ‘Strada dei Vini e dei Sapori dei Colli di Rimini’ to link wineries, farms, and restaurants. This project aims to integrate agriculture and tourism by showcasing regional products like wine, olive oil, and local cheeses. To support this sector, the regional government has allocated over 26 million euros for 2026-2027 to assist more than 14,000 businesses in the wine supply chain. On an international level, the region is strengthening ties with France. Following meetings between President Michele de Pascale and French diplomats, cooperation has been expanded in sectors such as aerospace, space technology, ecological transition, and water resource management. A new protocol signed in Bordeaux further extends this partnership with the Nouvelle Aquitaine region to include aeronautics, higher education, and precision agriculture. ## Timeline ### 2026-10-09: Emilia-Romagna and France strengthen institutional and scientific ties Emilia-Romagna and France are expanding institutional and economic cooperation, focusing on aerospace, ecological transition, and agricultural innovation through regional partnerships. 2 sources. https://clstr.news/cluster/emilia-romagna-and-france-strengthen-institutional-and-scientific-ties ### 2026-10-06: Rimini wine and food routes promoted by Emilia-Romagna agriculture minister Regional Agriculture Minister Alessio Mammi visited Rimini to promote the ‘Strada dei Vini e dei Sapori’, an initiative linking local wine, food, and tourism with 26 million euros in regional support. 2 sources. https://clstr.news/cluster/rimini-wine-and-food-routes-promoted-by-emilia-romagna-agriculture-minister --- Cite as: Emilia-Romagna regional development and cooperation.
