Economic and digital development in Ravenna
Overview
In the first half of 2026, the Ravenna region in Italy experienced notable economic growth, particularly within its banking and maritime sectors. The Port of Ravenna saw a 5.9% increase in cargo movement, totaling over 14 million tons, driven by petroleum products, solid bulks, and automotive transport. Cruise passenger traffic also rose significantly by 58.2%.
Building on this activity, the Port Authority of the North Central Adriatic Sea has launched a digital transformation initiative to establish the Port of Ravenna as a ‘Smart Port’. This program includes professional training in artificial intelligence and cybersecurity, alongside infrastructure investments such as a private 5G network, a new Data Platform for real-time logistics, and a ‘Digital Twin’ for scenario simulations. Security efforts are also being upgraded through the ‘MACSecurity’ project to meet NIS2 Directive compliance by October 2026.
