There was a lot of participation yesterday in Grosseto at the conference “Investing in Grosseto and Tuscany: the national and regional framework, opportunities and constraints in the Grosseto area,” organized by the municipality of Grosseto as part of the Invest In Tuscany project.
It was a day aimed at businesses from across the region, as well as freelancers, local authorities, young people and the world of associations, to reflect on the factors of attractiveness of Tuscany in some strategic supply chains for the economy of the Maremma: the agri-food industry, the tourism and accommodation sector, the sea economy and innovative manufacturing. The project, also carried out in collaboration with trade associations in the area, has already taken its first steps and is being developed. “In recent months we have created a dedicated portal(www.investingrosseto.it), a sort of showcase of the area’s opportunities also open to territorial stakeholders, in which to convey the territory’s tangible and intangible offerings, also highlighting the supply of areas for productive and/or commercial use,” say Mayor Antonfrancesco Vivarelli Colonna and Deputy Mayor Bruno Ceccherini. “In addition, we launched a survey on “doing business in Grosseto” conducted by the Promo Pa Foundation together with associations, the main results of which were released during the conference. A tool that proved to be particularly effective in putting in place measures to simplify relations between businesses and the municipality. In these days a communication campaign dedicated to investment opportunities in Grosseto will be launched soon,” they conclude, “through which we want to communicate that our territory is yes a beautiful land for nature, sea and culture, but it is also an area where one can invest and where companies that believe in sustainability, creativity and innovation can find an interesting place. The debate featured important stakeholders who, at the regional and local level, deal with investment attraction and competitiveness in the territory’s strategic supply chains.
