“The goal,” the three assessors clarified, “is to promote the creation of value chains by connecting the expertise of large companies, the innovative capacity of SMEs, and the knowledge base of research organizations.” They added that the launch of the call “gives substance to the Northwest Economic Cabinet, initiated by Liguria, Lombardy, and Piedmont in 2023. A path born from the conviction that, faced with the major industrial transformations ahead, competing together on strategic sectors, such as the energy industry, setting aside local rivalries and thinking together in a supply chain perspective, can make our territories more competitive on international stages.”
“The collaboration between our Regions,” concluded the Energy assessors of Liguria, Lombardy, and Piedmont, Paolo Ripamonti, Massimo Sertori, and Matteo Marnati, “allows us to systematize skills, industrial capacities, and innovation in a sector crucial for the competitiveness of the territories. Strengthening the energy supply chain means creating new opportunities for companies and supporting the development of strategic technologies for the future.”
