Act Tank Sicilia

The Act Tank Sicilia is the platform launched in 2021 by The European House - Ambrosetti with the aim of defining practical actions to boost the growth of the Region. The initiative sees the involvement of the Sicilian Region and a pool of private supporters, engaged through a series of meetings that are dedicated to the current challenges for the island and its businesses, and sets the ambition to contribute with planning for development.

Objectives

• Support the economic, social and cultural development of Sicily in the national and Euro-Mediterranean framework
• Identify inputs, projects and actions to maximize Sicily's contribution to the country’s growth process
• Enhance the role of the most important strategic regional supply chains, the academic system and young people in a new process of local and regional development

4th edition

In 2026, the Think Tank will focus on industrial development and strategic supply chains for attracting investment to Sicily, analysing the related enabling factors (human and financial capital, infrastructure, energy, public administration).

The results will be presented at the annual Forum, to be held in Palermo, at the Ustveggio Castle, on October 29, 2026. During the event, the 2026 Act Tank Sicilia Report will be presented, with an update of the regional monitoring dashboard will be presented, which measures the “state of health” of the Sicilian economy with respect to strategic economic metrics and indicators for the territory.
