Tourism, agriculture and the food industry, manufacturing - with a focus on supply chains in crisis, from mechanics to automotive to chemistry -, infrastructure and transport, sport and new frontiers, including diving, space and the Arctic. The declinations of Made in Italy, from the most historical to the most innovative, are at the centre of the programme of events at the Trento Festival of Economics dedicated to Italy's production ecosystem. From 22 to 25 May, a large number of representatives of the government, institutions and armed forces, the academic world, companies and civil society will take turns on the city's stages to reflect on the challenges that Italian industry, and more generally European industry, must face in the new global geopolitical and economic scenario. Given the crucial nature of the topic, the country's highest decision-making levels have been called upon to take the floor, in order to try together to outline some answers.
The horizon of the trade war opened with the duties announced and imposed by the administration of US President Donald Trump requires further analysis on the path that our country, within the EU, wants to take. If, on the one hand, there is the opportunity to design strategies to support Made in Italy, enhancing its quality and ability to be appreciated abroad, on the other, there is the awareness that the rethink must in some ways be shared at European level.

The issue of the competitiveness of our industry remains central, encompassing various aspects, from the needs and costs associated with the energy transition to the ability to keep pace with new technologies and the ability to respond to emerging players in global markets. Linked to this is another fundamental pillar, that of the innovation of which companies are the bearers: a dynamic capable of opening up new horizons in terms of both geography and content, but which has always needed support, both in terms of vision - of economic and industrial policy - and finance. In this context, the drive coming from the territories and their government, which is called upon to promote local vocations even in an international scenario, remains fundamental, especially in a country of small centres and great excellence like Italy. All the more so at a time of rethinking global value chains and suppliers.
