Baroncelli: "Boosting Tuscan industry by focusing on aerospace and renewable energy"

Lapo Baroncelli, president of Confindustria Toscana Centro and Costa, is calling for a reindustrialization of the region, warning that it risks deindustrialization if it doesn't focus on manufacturing. He suggests that the aerospace sector, leveraging the presence of Leonardo, could be a key area for growth, and that a district for this industry could be created.

To support reindustrialization, Baroncelli also emphasizes the need for affordable housing for workers and acceleration on renewable energy projects, including potentially revisiting nuclear power. He expresses concerns about delays in major infrastructure projects, such as the Darsena Europa port expansion in Livorno and the new runway at Florence airport.
