The Liguria region is positioning itself as a strategic hub for the blue economy and high-technology sectors. The ‘Liguria 2030’ report identified the maritime sector as a major economic driver, noting that Ligurian ports handle one-third of all TEUs in Italy and that the region hosts a significant portion of the national nuclear industry supply chain. ~~Subsequent data from a Bper Banca report presented at~~ At the 66th Genoa International Boat ~~Show confirmed~~ Show, industry experts highlighted the ~~sector's economic impact, stating~~ broader national impact of this sector. Mario Zanetti, Special Advisor for Confindustria, stated that the maritime economy has surpassed 220 billion euros in added value, representing over 11% of Italy’s GDP. Zanetti identified three strategic priorities for future development: upgrading port infrastructure, investing in workforce skills, and technological fleet modernization.
