Milan is, of course, the commercial heart of
Italy with three airports, good rail links and only a few hours
drive time from Paris, Frankfurt
and Geneva together with being the international
fashion capital and financial axis of Italy with a highly
attractive tax-free zone being proposed as a tempting incentive for
businesses, not mention the talent pool that arises from the top
rated business and finance Bocconi University as
well as housing the main Stock Exchange.
All this makes the city well placed to pitch for any of the
pickings that may become available in the wake of the
UK's game changing Brexit
vote. The Prime Minister, Matteo Renzi, is
laying plans to attempt to seize the European Medicines
Agency as well as the European Banking
Authority with a view to relocating the headquarters of
both agencies in Milan.
