Throughout the forum, more than 50 delegates from institutions, associations, and leading companies in the sector will discuss technological innovations, decarbonization, safety, and sustainability. Among the speakers are Alberto Rossi, Secretary General of Assarmatori, Roberto Ferrari, CEO of PSA Italy, Federica Montaresi from Assoporti, Alessandro Pitto, President of Fedespedi, and Davide Falteri, President of Federlogistica.
The event aims to provide a platform for exploring the challenges of technological and energy transition in the transport and logistics sector. Massimiliano Monti emphasizes:
“The third edition of the ‘Shipping, Transport & Logistic Forum’ seeks to offer the sector an opportunity to delve into the concrete challenges of technological and energy transition. Artificial intelligence is no longer the future—it is a present reality reshaping the boundaries of logistics and maritime transport. These changes not only impact this specific industry but are also shaping the entire economy. It is time to approach these opportunities with realism while also facing the difficulties brought by innovation without fear. This forum will not only be a space for discussion but an opportunity to envision practical and concrete solutions for the future of ports and maritime and land transport.”
The forum will take place on January 31 and February 1, 2025, at the Excelsior Palace Hotel in Rapallo.
