The investment migration industry offers citizenship by investment programmes that can guide investors in securing their business ventures, wealth management planning, safety and security of their families and assets, and create a foundation for a new home.

There is an increased demand for high-net-worth individuals and investors seeking alternative citizenship in other host countries that offer citizenship by investment programmes that are beneficial for personal and business reasons.

Ideal ‘Plan B’ for personal lifestyle

This option was a first of its kind in the global investment migration industry that provides a multitude of benefits to all stakeholders, high-net-worth individuals and investors, as well as the livelihoods of Kittians and Nevisian citizens.

Boris Herrmann and his message to the young people on climate change, be curious and drive innovation

Boris Herrmann Yacht Club de Monaco

Boris Herrmann and his message to the young people on climate change, be curious and drive innovation.

MONACO, July 07, 2023 (GLOBE NEWSWIRE) — “My message to young people is this: I really invite you to be very curious, to question the status quo and also the social norms. The way we’re doing things today is not right regarding climate change. We need to make a breakthrough and we will see the greatest changes in the history of our civilization in the next century. This will be a very challenging time for engineers and technicians to work on solutions to drive change, so be ambitious and don’t stop at no,” says German skipper Boris Herrmann, who has just been with his crew on the Ocean Race. Herrmann has arrived at the Yacht Club de Monaco, ‘home’ of his team Malizia (designed and founded together with Pierre Casiraghi, vice president of the Club and Founder of the Team Malizia), on the occasion of this 10th Monaco Energy Boat Challenge. The event dedicated to alternative propulsion has now reached its tenth edition and gathers 31 universities, about 50 teams for a total of 500 international students, who will compete with their boats powered by alternative propulsion in various competitions at sea. Herrmann has always been committed from an environmental point of view including for instance having a laboratory onboard during the past Vendée Globe. “Here at the Monaco Energy Boat Challenge,” continues Herrmann, “we see students with boats with solar technologies but also with hydrogen fuel cells. They are technologies that are not common. They will drive innovation and some startups will emerge from here. They will certainly learn a lot and more and more talent will spread among the people who work in the sector.” And on the future from the point of view of sailing, the German sportsman has his eyes on the Transat Jacques Vabre (October 2023) and the Vendée Globe 2024-2025, a regatta which consists of a complete circumnavigation in solitary, with arrival and departure from the French port Les Sables-d’Olonne, in the Vendée department (Vendée). “As far as we are concerned, we are only in the middle of the cycle of our project with this boat,” he says referring to the Imoca protagonist of the Ocean race. “We have built,” he adds, “a boat specifically for the Vendee Globe, which is the next regatta coming in winter 2024-2025. Until then we still have four more transatlantic regattas to participate in, so this is not the end of the campaign. This is only the first big step taken in 11 months since the launch and 50,000 nautical miles covered.”

ROME, July 07, 2023 (GLOBE NEWSWIRE) — “Gianni Agnelli, in arte l’Avvocato” has been awarded the 2023 Globo d’Oro, i.e. Italian Golden Globe, as Best Documentary. “This is the most important recognition we have received. We have been investing in television for four years: this is the first award for an important documentary. Important because I have a personal connection to it. I lived with the Avvocato, I knew him very well and I called him Giovanni unlike the others who called him Gianni or l’Avvocato,” said the founder and President of LaPresse, Marco Durante, who produced the documentary. The film portrait of the Avvocato won the statuette on the evening that the Italian Foreign Press Association devotes every year to Italian cinema. Receiving the prize at Villa Massimo was the film director Emanuele Imbucci, sharing the stage with giants from the world of Italian and international cinema such as John Malkovich and Marco Bellocchio. “I am happy because this award is not for me but for LaPresse. There is not a day, month or year that we do not take a step forward. And this is not thanks to me but rather to the machine we have created,” Durante continued. “Who do I dedicate this award to? To Avvocato Agnelli. Without him I would not be who I am. If I had not met Donna Marella, I would not have learnt manners. If I had not met the Avvocato, I would not be the person I am now.”

Webuild, Cohesion Policy-funded Braila Bridge in Romania inaugurated today

It will connect the Black Sea ports and the Danube Delta with the rest of the country and with the wider Trans-European Transport Network

Pietro Salini

One of the biggest Cohesion Policy-funded projects, the Braila Bridge in Romania, was inaugurated today. CEO of Webuild Pietro Salini, said at the inauguration: “After Braila, we are ready to build a record bridge over the Strait of Messina”.

MILAN, Italy, July 07, 2023 (GLOBE NEWSWIRE) — One of the biggest Cohesion Policy-funded projects, the Braila Bridge in Romania, was inaugurated today. It will connect the Black Sea ports and the Danube Delta with the rest of the country and with the wider Trans-European Transport Network. It is the longest structure in the country with a total length of 1,975 metres and is the second longest suspension bridge in continental Europe, with a central span of 1,120 metres. The EU’s contribution to this project amounts to €363 million from Cohesion Policy funds.

The bridge was built by the joint venture between the Italian company Webuild, which holds a 60% share, and the Japanese company IHI Infrastructure Systems. 2 km long, 38 meters above the water and with four lanes, this suspension bridge is the largest in Romania and the largest over the Danube and, overall, the third largest suspension bridge in the EU. The bridge will allow the free transit of vessels and it will replace a slow and unreliable ferry link, which is often interrupted during winter and bad weather conditions.

It was inaugurated today in the presence of the President of Romania Klaus Iohannis, the European Commissioner for Transport Adina-Ioana Valean and the Undersecretary of State to the Italian Ministry of Infrastructure and Transport Undersecretary Tullio Ferrante, accompanied by the Italian Ambassador in Bucharest Alfredo Durante Mangoni and the CEO of Webuild Pietro Salini.

Salini: “After Braila, we are ready to build a record bridge over the Strait of Messina”

“After the inauguration of two new stations of the M4 metro in Milan in recent days, today we are proud to cut the ribbon on another project, the Braila Bridge, which will improve and simplify the everyday life of many people and businesses in the region, bringing them closer together and creating value”. This was stated by Pietro Salini, CEO of Webuild.

“Together with IHI, after the technological challenge of Braila, we are ready to build, again with a single span, a record-breaking bridge over the Strait of Messina, placing at the service of the country the successes that Italian engineering has achieved in the world. Due to the length of its central span, Braila represents a 1:3 scale model of the bridge that will finally unite Sicily and Calabria. These projects are first and foremost dreams, and today our Group has the honour of making them a reality,” Salini added. The two banks of the Danube in south-eastern Romania are now connected by the newly completed Braila Bridge, the longest bridge in the country with a total length of 1,975 metres and the second longest suspension bridge in continental Europe, with a central span of 1,120 metres.
