- By December 2023, Italy's port of Ancona is slated for a significant upgrade with the completion of a new EUR 108 million (USD 115.28 million) transportation link. The project, awarded to a joint venture between BESIX and Donati, encompasses a 3.3 km road commissioned by Anas, an Italian road firm. This road, featuring two tunnels and a viaduct, is expected to take three years to finish. Once operational, it will connect the international port of Ancona to the Strada Statale 16 Adriatica at the Torrette roundabout.
- After a period of stagnation, Italy's logistics sector is witnessing a turnaround, buoyed by a rebound in the country's exports. With a well-developed network, especially in the Northern and Central regions, and its strategic location at the heart of Europe, Italy boasts extensive domestic and international markets. The investment landscape in Italy's industrial and logistics real estate market has seen fluctuations since 2013. In 2021, investment volumes reached a peak of USD 2.70 billion, surpassing the office sector.
- The European Union's strategy to achieve climate neutrality by 2050 places a strong emphasis on a modal shift to rail, with cross-border transport playing a pivotal role in realizing the EU's Green Deal objectives. However, rail transport in Italy faces challenges, including missing links and various barriers that hinder its competitiveness. Despite these hurdles, Italy's rail sector holds a 10% modal split. Notably, companies like FS Group have ambitious investment plans, earmarking EUR 160 billion (USD 170.79 billion) for infrastructure and EUR 190 billion (USD 202.82 billion) for overland transport by 2030.
