The results of the work were presented in an International Forum in Palermo, on March 25, 2022 at Palazzo Belmonte Riso - Museo Regionale d’Arte Moderna e Contemporanea: "Strategie e politiche per una Sicilia – al centro del Mediterraneo – aperta, attrattiva e connessa" (Strategies and policies for an open, attractive and connected Sicily, at the centre of the Mediterranean Region).

Goals of the Act Tank Sicilia initiative
- 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
In the first edition
- We analysed the economic and social outlook of Sicily – within the context of the post COVID-19 period, the implementation of the NRRP and the new European programming cycle – and identified the strategic assets and areas to start from in order to produce a development vision
- We defined a development agenda for Sicily, focused on attracting investments in strategic regional skills and launching projects that can catalyze economic resources and growth
- We supported the medium-long term programming of regional Institutions, through the development of tools to measure and monitor the strategic goals linked to the vision and projects launched
- We listened to and engaged stakeholders (at local and supra-local level) and national and international entities that are important for the region
- We maximized the visibility and recognizability of the Region, facilitating the construction of a network of national and international relations
For the dissemination and implementation of the actions, we organised a regional Road Show in four steps:
