For Italian industry, which is strongly export-oriented, <\/span>transport and logistics are real levers of competitiveness.<\/b> Today, with a view to strengthening European connections and given the need to increase complementarity between logistics and production, the NRP represents an opportunity for Italy to establish itself as a bridge between Northern Europe and the Mediterranean, <\/span>Confindustria has taken an active role in promoting initiatives aimed at integrating logistics and transport supply and demand.<\/b><\/p>\n

For this, together with the Association System<\/b>, drew up the document 'Industry, Transport, Logistics and Infrastructure: TOGETHER for the competitiveness of the country', <\/i><\/b>identifying new strategic lines of industrial policy in this area that has been presented on 23 January in Viale dell'Astronomia<\/strong>.<\/span><\/p>\n

The logistics and transport system grows<\/span><\/b>for several years, at rates well above those of GDP.<\/b> The the total value of logistics activities in Italy in 2023 is 135.4 billion euro, 8.2% of Italian GDP, and employs approximately 1.4 million people working in the sector<\/b>. La outsourced logistics accounted for 45.3%, or EUR 61.3 billion, net of intra-sector trade.<\/b><\/span><\/p>\n

The growing weight of exports makes The issue of investment and planning, in the medium and long term, in the transport and infrastructure sectors is increasingly central. More than 60% of Italian trade takes place with other European countries. Alpine crossings therefore play a decisive role <\/b>for both rail and road transport.<\/span><\/p>\n

The growth of non-European markets leads to focus focus also on the development of ports and airports.<\/b><\/span><\/p>\n

The modern logistics system must be a factor of competitiveness for the manufacturing sector, with which there is an inherent interdependence.<\/span><\/b> We need to get out of the perspective in which logistics and transport are seen only as a cost and not as a competitive asset to be leveraged. <\/b>In Italy, distribution-oriented logistics is clearly preponderant. Moreover, compared to other EU countries, the road component is very strong and the mix is less balanced. The logistics offer, which is so fragmented, is less cost-competitive than the large international operators.<\/b><\/span><\/p>\n

Within the framework of the proposals for the development and modernisation of national transport and logistics<\/b>it is, first of all, necessary to improving infrastructure planning and the quality of projects and works to be realised<\/b>. It emerges the need for efficient regulation of public contracts<\/b>of a proper functioning of the port system and the definition of an effective national airport plan<\/b>. Le bureaucratic procedures must be simplified and digitised<\/b> and removed obsolete constraints and bottlenecks.<\/span><\/p>\n
