A conference held today at the Europe Experience in Rome focused on sustainable investments, companies involved in ecological and energy transition, and data and scenarios comparing the National Recovery and Resilience Plan (PNRR) with the development of future mobility.

The European Green Deal was a key topic discussed at the conference. This regulatory activity has been significant during this legislative term and has made ambitious choices in the transport sector, which accounts for a quarter of climate-changing emissions.
