Connact Mobility, in cooperation with the Italian offices of the European Parliament and Commission, promotes high-level debate on the future of Italian and European transport and on policies to ensure the economic, social and environmental sustainability of the sector.

The debate had different focuses, on the one hand aimed at highlighting the role of the Italian port system in contributing to the sustainability of maritime transport, and on the other focused on the development of intermodality and European transport networks, also analysing the contribution of the EU cohesion policies to achieve the necessary investments in this area.
