In 2016, The European House - Ambrosetti launched the “Liguria 2022” initiative, a platform for discussion and dialogue among public and private players to relaunch the development model for the Liguria Region through concrete projects and a shared medium/long-term strategy. The COVID-19 emergency will leave a profound mark on the economy and society and represents a historic moment of discontinuity. A new scenario is opening for the Liguria Region, which looks towards relaunching, development and the future in the transition to “Liguria 2030”.
