Total value\u201c180 billion, equal to approximately 10% of the national GDP, direct added value of approximately 65 billion.<\/p>\n
\u201c180 billion of total value, equal to approximately 10% of the national GDP, a direct added value of approximately 65 billion, over 230 thousand businesses and more than 1 million employees, or 4.1% of total employment and with one of the highest economic multipliers: for every euro produced directly, another 1.8 are activated in the national economy, which become 2.7 in the maritime transport sector alone\u201d.<\/p>\n
Thus\u00a0the Delegate of the President of Confindustria for the Sea Economy and President of Confitarma who emphasizes the strategic importance of the Blue Economy on National Sea Day.<\/p>\n
\u201cThe Sea Economy is a strategic sector for the competitiveness of our country\u201d, and \u201cConfindustria, with the technical group that I chair \u2013 said the Delegate of the President of Confindustria per l\u2019Economia del Mare is developing a strategic document, which will be presented in July, with the aim of proposing concrete solutions for the competitive development of the entire sector.<\/p>\n
Furthermore, Confindustria wants to be the main interlocutor, as the only national association in which all the sectors that make up the blue economy are represented\u201d.<\/p>\n
The sector, reiterated the Delegate of the President of Confindustria for the Sea Economy, must address some critical issues, such as the need to overcome the difficulty of finding qualified personnel, with the alignment between training and job demand.<\/p>\n
These topics will be explained in the strategic document.<\/p>\n
\u201cCompanies in the sector highlight a widespread lack of specialized professional figures, both in technical and highly specialized roles.<\/p>\n
Also lacking are transversal skills, which require interdisciplinary training courses that combine technical, managerial and regulatory skills.<\/p>\n
The mismatch between business requests and availability exists and today, more than ever, represents a critical issue for the entire sector. The sectors are evolving rapidly and training should meet new needs more effectively\u201d.<\/p>\n
The strategic document on the EdM will also address the relaunch of the competitiveness of the sector starting from three fundamental drivers:<\/p>\n
Infrastructure and Ports: our ports must become true hubs of the future, modern, digital, sustainable, with targeted investments and a unitary, streamlined and effective governance.<\/p>\n
In this context, the energy transition plays a key role and requires enormous economic resources that could derive in part from ETS taxation, whose revenues should be allocated to investments for the green transition of the sector;<\/p>\n
Carriers and Fleets: it is urgent to simplify rules, support innovation and accompany the ecological transition of the sector;<\/p>\n
People and Skills: because it is necessary to bridge the gap between school and business, strengthen technical training and make careers in the sea more attractive for new generations.<\/p>\n
Finally, the Delegate of the President of Confindustria for the Economy of the Sea underlined that “in view of the annual updates of the Mattei Plan, Confindustria believes it is strategic to introduce a chapter dedicated to the Economy of the Sea, with a specific focus on training and professions”, because the growth of the entire Blue Economy sector also passes through training.<\/p>\n
