The meeting will address issues related to infrastructure financing, maritime and port logistics (with a focus on the chronoprogramme of new infrastructure works in the port of Genoa and the North West). Italian, as well as in Ticino), the transformations in place in the European logistics market and the programmes of freight railways in Switzerland and Italy.
