Naples, an industrial plan to attract high-impact investments

The annual assembly of the Unione Industriali di Napoli, attended by prominent figures including Confindustria president Emanuele Orsini, Foreign Minister Antonio Tajani, and Napoli Mayor Gaetano Manfredi, called for a multi-year industrial plan to attract investments in manufacturing to the Mezzogiorno and Napoli. The plan aims to reverse brain drain and promote growth in the region.

According to Vittorio Genna, the union's president, the South has grown more than the national average in recent years, but without cohesion policies, trends could reverse, with growth forecast to be only 0.4% in the South and 0.5% in the Centre-North by 2027. The assembly identified key areas for development, including creating a stronger manufacturing sector and promoting high-impact investments that create qualified jobs.
