They spoke at the 15th Annual Meeting of INSME members, which took place on June 6 - 7, 2019, in Naples, Italy. They discussed the possibilities for working together and eventual membership of BSMEPA in the organisation.

During the two-day forum in Naples, were discussed key themes for the financial and technological sector and for logistics.
