The SupErInt project (Supporting the Erasmus+ internships to enhance the internationalization process of the enterprises from the Liguria region) was born with the aim of increasing the number of students with international experiences. In the economic and productive context of Liguria and of Genoa in particular, the import/export activities represent an important component of the local economy. The province of Genoa emerges as the most vibrant for exports, with a considerable value of product sold and the Port of Genoa is a hub of strategic importance for access to many markets. Next to this Genoa and Liguria are a popular tourist destination both from the point of view of landscape and from the point of view of reception capacity. In this context, the professionalism and skills related to the processes of internationalization of businesses, as well as those related to the promotion and reception of tourism represent a value both in terms of growth of the local economic system. The project aimed to increase training opportunities abroad for students in order to support the economy and respond to the needs of the local labour market.
