Global changes and new economic balances: trends and prospects for Italy and Lombardy (with networking lunch)

Commercial tensions, new tariffs, and geopolitical realignments are reshaping value chains and key markets, placing Italian companies in a complex and uncertain transition phase. Global and European dynamics are influencing supply strategies, export approaches, and the overall competitiveness of the national economy.

Professor Fortis will lead a comprehensive exploration of the key economic trends at both national and regional levels, supported by the latest data and forward-looking forecasts for Italy in the year ahead.

The second part of the meeting will focus on Lombardy’s economy and the emerging global challenges, examining the outlook for regional businesses, opportunities to adapt to ongoing changes, and strategic levers to safeguard competitiveness and growth.
