Italian industrial clusters

The last 15 years have seen a progressive and markedgrowth in the number of clusters, favoured by nationaland regional legislation and by the average small size ofItalian companies, which pushes them to create organicand geographically close conglomerates of playerswithin the same supply chain/industry .

Experience Economy ante litteram.

Experiencing excellence

TOURISMWith more than 33,000 hotels and 400,000 employees, the tourism sectoris one of the driving forces of the Italian economy. Accommodation,infrastructure and services, particularly with regard to transport andreception facilities are the strenghts for investments in our country .The country offers enormous potential for growth and exceptionalinvestment opportunities.

AUTOMOTIVEThis sector is a star performer in the Italian manufacturing arena, thanksespecially to the presence of large car-manufacturing companies (such asFiat, Ferrari, Alfa Romeo, Lancia, Lamborghini, and Maserati) and othermotor-vehicle manufacturers (Aprilia, Ducati and Piaggio) which create asignificant allied economy among small and medium-sized enterprises.

CHEMICALFor many products Italian market ranks even second in Europe. Andmany chemical foreign owned companies have decided to place heretheir strategic basis to manage operations in Southern Europe. Thequality of research and widely recognised scientific expertise are animportant attraction, especially in fine and specialised chemistry.

RENEWABLE ENERGYThe photovoltaic industry is growing rapidly and should grow further inthe near future.

.

Fashion & luxuryWith revenues of EUR 48 billion, 70,000 companies and 700,000workers, Italy has the most active fashion and luxury industry in theworld .If we say "Italian Fashion“, most people probably will think first of Milan.But in fact fashion in Italy means much more than a single city orregion . Because so much of Italy's fashion production - textiles, apparel,shoes, accessories, etc. - takes place in small factories and craftworkshops scattered around the country .

Besides a few large players the market is characterisedby a large number of small and medium-sizedenterprises often operating in market niches.

These companies are rich in the creativity andtechnological skill which are the strategic factors in theworldwide prestige of Italian fashion.

Italian sizes

Italy has a smaller number of world class multinational corporations thanother economies of comparable size.

Instead, the country’s main economic strength has been its largebase of small- and medium-sized companies . Some of thesecompanies manufacture products that are technologically advanced andtherefore face increasing competition from China and other emergingAsian economies which are able to undercut them on labour costs.

These Italian companies are responding to the Asian competition byconcentrating on products with a higher technological cont ent ,while moving lower-tech manufacturing to plants in countries wherelabour is less expensive.
