Aiming at a better sustainable mobility
Doing the honours will be the Councillor in charge of Idroscalo, Roberto Maviglia, enthusiastic about the opportunity to host in the “sea of Milan” the three-day trade fair:
“A quality event able to capture different publics, conveying important messages linked to energetic and environmental transition in relation to a very specific mobility, the one on water. Last year was a great success for the public that was given the opportunity to
try all the vehicles. And I think the conferences are as much of an important occasion to reflect and increase our knowledge on the topic.”
Nautical industry & sustainability
The Councillor in charge of Mobility and Infrastructures, Beatrice Uguccioni praises the initiative:
“All that represents innovation, through a sustainable vision, deserves attention. Our institution has been working for years towards a “softer” mobility, one that fulfils the necessity of moving while respecting the environment. One year ago Idroscalo hosted the first edition of EBS, that showed us truly innovative solutions in the nautical industry to face electric transition. One year later the challenge is still there. During this time our institution also reached important goals, with the opening of the first section of Metro Line 6 as part of the “biciplan Cambio”, that connects Idroscalo to Milan, and the funding through the National Plan for Recovery and Resilience of 5 more cycling paths. Ecological transition on the mobility front is an ever-growing reality!”.
“For a long time now the best operators in the nautical industry have asked for a meeting point exclusively dedicated to 100% electric mobility. It is out of this call that EBS – Electric Boat Show was born! A innovative trade fair format hosted in a unique location: the heart of Milan. Idroscalo is located just a few minutes away from Milan city centre. Here you can not only encounter the best solutions the market has to offer, but you are able to try them first-hand on water. All this accompanied with a high-profile conference and institutional programme. First edition’s claim was: ‘Is electric mobility on water the future? No, it’s much more… it’s already happening’. This year’s will be ‘From prototype to mass production’”, says Davide Lenarduzzi, CEO at Paeda & associati.
