Volleyball & Sports Funding: San Marino’s women’s teams won medals at the SCA zonal volleyball championship in Andorra la Vella, supported by FIVB Volleyball Empowerment funding (San Marino’s federation received USD 147,000 for coaching support plus USD 51,500 for equipment). Tourism & Travel Policy: Europe’s Entry/Exit System (EES) is rolling out across all external Schengen borders, replacing passport stamps with biometric registration for many non-EU short-stay travellers—while San Marino citizens are exempt. Textiles & Manufacturing Trade: ITM 2026 (international textile machinery) wrapped in Istanbul with 1,000+ companies from 59 countries and 48,257 professional visitors, highlighting global demand for textile production equipment. Industry & Logistics (Aviation): DC Aviation Al-Futtaim added an Airbus ACJ318-100 registered in San Marino, citing shifting client demand toward larger-cabin, non-stop intercontinental corporate travel. Local Governance & Housing Pressure: A California bill (SB 1090) advanced to protect Altadena from real estate speculators using higher-density laws after the Eaton Fire—an example of how recovery rules can shape construction outcomes.
