A dialogue between public and private actors
All the involved parties played a vital and active role in addressing issues related to environmental concerns and pertaining to the ecological conversion in our country.
The political authorities sat down to compare initiatives and existing regulations in the presence of a number of shipyards, committing to meet again to collaborate and find together solutions to promote the electric transition in the area surrounding the Idroscalo of Milano, providing an example to follow on a national scale.
With the help of Vetus Group, we hosted the important bilateral meeting between Italy and the Netherlands, which drew attention to the concrete experience of Confindustria Nautica Italiana, represented by Piero Formenti, and HISWA, in the person of Jeroen van den Heuvel, emphasizing the strong points and relevant achievements accomplished on the Dutch territory, an experience to be borrowed for an eco-sustainable conversion that enhances and preserves our bodies of water – stated the organisers of the event.
In addition to the wealth of meetings and panel discussions, visitors participated in the sea trials of the 100% electric vehicles, experiencing the thrill of sustainable and silent boating on the waters of Idroscalo.
