  • Da Timisoara la ripartenza economica della Romania

    Da Timisoara la ripartenza economica della Romania

    Sono Passati circa 20 anni dall’arrivo a Timisoara di numerosi imprenditori italiani, interessati a valutare opportunita’ di business in Romania. Charter di aerei  con destinazione Timisoara, in over booking, che avevano segnato l’inizio di una presenza italiana numerosa in questo Paese.

    Oggi gli Imprenditori italiani  hanno deciso di ritrovarsi, sempre in Timisoara, anche senza charter dall’Italia e seppur in numero minore, nel rispetto delle norme dettate dall’emergenza sanitaria da Coronavirus, ma con la progettualita’ e l’entusiasmo di allora.   

    Lo hanno fatto sotto la bandiera di Confindustria Romania, l’associazione  che rappresenta i maggiori interessi economici delle imprese a capitale italiano. Sono tutti imprenditori, da anni in Romania, che hanno contribuito fattivamente allo sviluppo di questo generoso Paese.

    Molti di loro sono anche la testimonianza vivente dell’integrazione tra i due popoli, avendo costruito famiglie italo/romene, le cui generazioni saranno una parte fondamentale del futuro di questo Paese.

    Il Responsabile della Delegazione di Timisoara Eros Cenci e il Delegato Nazionale alla Cultura Enrico Cannata, hanno accolto nella suggestiva e intima location privata all’aperto del centro storico, oltre ai selezionati imprenditori, anche il Presidente nazionale di Confindustria Romania Giulio Bertola, il Direttore Generale Rocco Ferri e numerosi esponenti delle Istituzioni romene di Timisoara, tra cui il Sindaco Nicolae Robu e la Dr.ssa Simona Neumann, Direttrice dell’Asociatia TM2021 Capitale Europea della Cultura.

    Il Presidente Giulio Bertola ha voluto enfatizzare l’importanza di interpretare e capire il cambiamento in atto, senza subirlo, per iniziare da subito il processo di ripartenza economica.

    Ha inoltre puntato sull’importanza di fare Rete tra Associati, intesa come supporto al dialogo tra PMI e grandi imprese, di cui Confindustria Romania si fara’ carico.

    L’intervento centrale del Presidente e’ stato sul Progetto nazionale GATE ROMANIA,

    ”GATE ROMANIA, il nostro indipendente progetto a supporto del “Piano di Ricostruzione della Romania” appena dichiarato dal Governo romeno e che interessera’ Infrastrutture, istruzione, energia e sanita’. La prima nostra proposta contenuta in GATE ROMANIA riguarda la sanita’, perche’ riteniamo come CR, di essere la punta avanzata tra tutte le iniziative italiane oggi attivate a sostegno del Paese.

    Siamo stati anche subito propositivi per quanto riguarda il nostro piano attrattivo per i giovani nell’agricoltura con una proposta moderna, che amplia la visione del business agricolo fino       all’accoglienza turistica negli Agriturismi, presentato direttamente al Ministro dell’Agricoltura Adrian Oros.

    Ormai dura da mesi anche la nostra fattiva collaborazione con la Presidenza romena, attraverso la partecipazione al Gruppo tecnico di lavoro, inter istituzionale, sul rimpatrio della forza lavoro rumena dall’estero. Su questo vorrei ricordare i recenti ringraziamenti pubblici a Confindustria Romania, da parte della Consigliera di Stato Sandra Pralong, Coordinatrice di questo importante Gruppo, per l’impegno e la progettualita’ che abbiamo e che stiamo ancora  portando in questi momenti di impegnativa emergenza sanitaria”.

    Il progetto GATE ROMANIA quindi e’ un progetto tutto italiano, attraverso il quale Confindustria Romania attivera’ azioni coordinate per contribuire fattivamente ad avviare un processo di preparazione della Romania alle varie opportunita’, tra cui quelle derivanti dai radicali cambiamenti socio economici in Europa imposti dall’emergenza sanitaria, grazie ad una straordinaria interazione informativa, commerciale ed economica, a livello internazionale e alla maggiore disponibilita’ da parte di tutte le piu’ importanti organizzazioni e forze del Paese, alla reciproca e costruttiva cooperazione.  

    L’Area del Banat, e’ molto interessante per la presenza imprenditoriale italiana ed e’ per questo che il Presidente di Confindustria Romania, Giulio Bertola ha voluto trasferire un messaggio diretto al Sindaco Nicolae Robu, in cui ha voluto mettere in evidenza le sue doti di ottimo amministratore pubblico, riscontrabile dalla qualita’ di vita’, dall’ordine e la pulizia della citta’ e anche dalla responsabilita’ che il Sindaco Robu ha saputo esprimere nel prendere le redini della Capitale Europea della Cultura in un momento di crisi, causata anche dall’emergenza sanitaria.

    Il Sindaco Robu ha subito risposto positivamente, dando la massima disponibilita’ a Confindustria Romania per una piena collaborazione, anche sul tema cultura, fondamentale per una societa’ multiculturale come quella di Timisoara.

    Rimaniamo in attesa di ricevere nuove informazioni sui contenuti di questa preannunciata collaborazione, ma non escludiamo che si trattera’ di un progetto di alto contenuto culturale che necessitera’ anche di una maggiore presenza di Confindustria Romania nella vita sociale della citta’, e anche di nuove alleanze territoriali necessarie per rafforzare la rappresentanza della comunita’ italiana nel Banat.

    A chiusura dell’incontro il Delegato di Timisoara Eros Cenci e Il Delegato alla Cultura Enrico Cannata hanno consegnato al Sindaco Robu, la moneta limited edition, celebrativa dei 15 anni di vita di Confindustria Romania. Tutti gli invitati hanno partecipato al successivo cocktail – cena, organizzato da Mauro Monelli tramite il servizio catering del Ristorante Le Monelline. 

  • The Poet who redefined our notion of love

    The Poet who redefined our notion of love

    There are a number of different theories and hypotheses regarding early state formation that seek generalizations to explain why the state developed in some places but not others. Other scholars believe that generalizations are unhelpful and that each case of early state formation should be treated on its own.

    Voluntary contend groups theories of people came together to form states as a result of some shared rational interest.

    Conflict theories of state formation regard conflict and dominance of some population over another population as key to the formation of states.

    The first states of sorts were those of early dynastic Sumer and early dynastic Egypt, which arose from the Uruk period and Predynastic Egypt respectively around approximately 3000 BCE.

    Although state-forms existed before the rise of the Ancient Greek empire, the Greeks were the first people known to have explicitly formulated a political philosophy of the state, and to have rationally analyzed political institutions. Prior to this, states were described and justified in terms of religious myths.

    Several important political innovations of classical antiquity came from the Greek city-states (polis) and the Roman Republic. The Greek city-states before the 4th century granted citizenship rights to their free population; in Athens these rights were combined with a directly democratic form of government that was to have a long afterlife in political thought and history.

    Political globalization began in the 20th century through intergovernmental organizations and supranational unions. The League of Nations was founded after World War I, and after World War II it was replaced by the United Nations. Various international treaties have been signed through it. Regional integration has been pursued by the African Union, ASEAN, the European Union, and Mercosur. International political institutions on the international level include the International Criminal Court, the International Monetary Fund, and the World Trade Organization.

    The history of the world is commonly understood as the history of humanity spanning the major geopolitical developments of about five millennia, from the first civilizations to the present. In terms such as world religion, world language, world government, and world war, the term world suggests an international or intercontinental scope without necessarily implying participation of every part of the world.

    The world population is the sum of all human populations at any time; similarly, the world economy is the sum of the economies of all societies or countries, especially in the context of globalization:

    • Terms such as “world championship”, “gross world product”, and “world flags” imply the sum or combination of all sovereign states.
    • While the Germanic word thus reflects a mythological notion of a domain of Man compare Midgard.
    • The corresponding word in Latin is mundus literally “clean, elegant” as an act of establishing order out of chaos.

    Itself a loan translation of Greek cosmos “orderly arrangement.” presumably as opposed to the divine sphere on the one hand and the chthonic sphere of the underworld on the other, the Greco-Latin term expresses a notion of creation.

    “World” distinguishes the entire planet or population from any particular country or region: world affairs pertain not just to one place but to the whole world, and world history is a field of history that examines events from a global (rather than a national or a regional) perspective. Earth, on the other hand, refers to the planet as a physical entity, and distinguishes it from other planets and physical objects.

    Was also classically used to mean the material universe, or the cosmos: “The worlde is an apte frame of heauen and earthe, and all other natural thinges contained in them.”

    The term can also be used attributively, to mean “global”, or “relating to the whole world”, forming usages such as world community or world canonical texts.

    By extension, a world may refer to any planet or heavenly body, especially when it is thought of as inhabited, especially in the context of science fiction or futurology.

    In philosophy, the term world has several possible meanings. In some contexts, it refers to everything that makes up reality or the physical universe. In others, it can mean have a specific ontological sense. While clarifying the concept of world has arguably always been among the basic tasks of Western philosophy, this theme appears to have been raised explicitly only at the start of the twentieth century and has been the subject of continuous debate. The question of what the world is has by no means been settled.

    The traditional interpretation of Parmenides work is that he argued that the everyday perception of reality of the physical world is mistaken, and that the reality of the world is One Being: an unchanging, ungenerated, indestructible whole.

    Romania: Technology companies quadrupled their businesses and teams

    The top 50 largest technology companies in Romania, which realise software and digital solutions for group companies or for third parties, have increased in the last ten years by approximately four times the turnover and local teams, reaching a cumulative turnover of 3 billion euros and over 50,000 employees in 2019, according to a Cushman & Wakefield Echinox analysis.

    Most of these companies, such as Amazon, IBM, HP, Microsoft or Oracle, are also in the top of the largest technology companies globally, which reconfirms Romania’s position in the top of the most dynamic IT hubs in the world.

    With 5.5% contribution to Romania’s GDP overall formation in 2019, the technology sector has become an important pillar of the national economy, but also of the real estate market, given that companies in this industry have been the most active office occupier in the last decade, both in Bucharest and in other university centers in Romania, such as Cluj, Timişoara or Iaşi, generating, on average, about 40% of demand.

    The latest data of the National Institute of Statistics indicated in 2018 a number of 140,000 employees in the IT industry in Romania, most of them working in Bucharest (46%), Cluj (12%), Timişoara (9% ) and Iaşi (6%).

    Enel launches four contests to design the power stations of the future

    Enel launches “The new energy spaces”, four contests for the design of modern and efficient power plants necessary for the decommissioning of coal plants.

    The goal is to create energy hubs in which renewable sources (solar photovoltaic), energy storage batteries and gas systems will coexist, increasingly integrated with the surrounding environment, thanks to projects that reduce the impact on the landscape and that reimagine the idea of ​​the power plant, also making spaces available to local communities.

    Participants are asked to present project ideas that respect the principles of sustainability and circular economy, through the reuse of existing structures, and which can be adapted to the different conversion phases of the plants.

    The contests concern four power plants: La Spezia, Fusina, Civitavecchia and Brindisi, and will be carried out in collaboration with the Universities of Genoa, IUAV of Venice, Tuscia and Salento.

    In order to encourage wider involvement, the calls for tenders provide indications for the participation of young people under 40 and for gender equality.

    The projects will be evaluated by a commission composed of representatives from Enel, the universities and representatives of local communities.

    The three best projects selected for each of the four tenders will be acquired by Enel and the winners will be entrusted with the architectural design of their proposal for the construction of the plants, for which the authorization procedures are currently underway.

    BOTH WORLDS 2020, il tanto atteso Forum Economico di Confindustria Romania, quest’anno svolto in modalita’ LIVE streaming.

    Confindustria Romania consolida la sua posizione di interlocutore privilegiato delle Istituzioni come rappresentante dei maggiori investimenti italiani in Romania. Straordinaria partecipazione non solo dalla Romania ma anche dall’Italia e dai Paesi dell’Est Europa.

    Un Pannel di Relatori di assoluto rilievo che hanno saputo garantire una visione innovativa sul  tema della ripartenza economica. Da parte della Presidenza romena la Consigliera di Stato Sandra Pralong, Coordinatrice del Gruppo di lavoro inter istituzionale sul rimpatrio della forza lavoro rumena dall’estero. Come istituzioni italiane, L’Ambasciatore d’Italia a Bucarest, Marco Giungi. 

    Il Presidente di Confindustria Est Europa e Presidente della Consulta di Confindustria per le Rappresentanze internazionali, Luca Serena. Per il Governo romeno, Il Sottosegretario di Stato del Ministero dell’Economia, Energia e Medio di affari,Liviu Rogojinaru e il Sottosegretario di Stato del Ministero del Lavoro e della protezione sociale Alin Ignat.                

    Pannel di rilievo anche per gli interventi tecnici.

Fulvio Italiano Membro Gruppo Tecnico Internazionalizzazione di Confindustria Romania e Executive Network Director BDB Holding. Riccardo Parasporo, Presidente Esecutivo BDB Holding, Partner Romania.                                   

    Subito in apertura del Convegno un’apprezzamento di rilievo, da parte degli esponenti della Presidenza e del Governo romeno, indirizzata al Presidente di Confindustria Romania, Giulio Bertola, per l’operativita’ espressa in questi mesi durante i lavori del Gruppo inter istituzionale sul rimpatrio della forza lavoro romena dall’estero  e per la straordinaria progettualita’ del Patronato indirizzata al mondo del lavoro grazie al lungimirante Protocollo siglato tra Imprenditori italiani e Lavoratori romeni, richiamato  dalla Consigliera di Stato Sandra Pralong come un “Atto Storico”, non solo per la Romania.

    Durante il Forum, Confindustria Romania ha lanciato ufficialmente il suo Progetto per sostenere il Paese, GATE Romania. Due punti fondamentali caratterizzano questo importante progetto  

    Il primo, vista l’emergenza sanitaria in atto, e’ la creazione di un ambiente di lavoro, stabile, sicuro e sereno, con iniziative congiunte tra le principali forze produttive del Paese, Imprenditori e Lavoratori, nell’assistenza sanitaria integrativa attraverso le best pratices italiane no profit. Azione necessaria per aumentare la coesione sociale e continuare a produrre e distribuire ma nel rispetto delle persone in prima linea: Imprenditori, Manager e Lavoratori.

    Confindustria Romania e’ considerata la punta avanzata tra tutte le iniziative italiane nella sanita’ integrativa, oggi attivate a sostegno del Paese.

    Un sostegno concreto e immediato alla popolazione e un supporto indiretto alla sanita’ pubblica romena, oggi fortemente sollecitata, con una caratteristica fondamentale, quella di non aver richiesto investimenti da parte di nessuno.                                                                                

    “La Posizione di centralita’ della Romania la pone come candidato designato a divenire GATE economico, commerciale e logistico per l’intera Regione dell’Est Europa, ma la creazione di una stabilita’ economica e sociale nel mondo del lavoro sara’ un elemento fondamentale. Come rappresentanti degli investimenti italiani in Romania, siamo orgogliosi di essere riusciti a contribuire, in tema di lavoro e protezione sociale, al processo di creazione di questa straordinaria convergenza progettuale e operativa tra le principali forze del Paese, elemento chiave per una ripartenza economica sostenibile”, dichiara il Presidente di Confindustria Romania, Giulio Bertola.

    Il secondo punto fondamentale del progetto GATE ROMANIA, e’ rappresentato dalla piu’ performante e autorevole  struttura organizzativa e rete relazionale a livello internazionale in cui convergono operativamente diverse strutture di massimo rilievo.

    Il progetto GATE ROMANIA potra’ disporre, in primis, di contatti all’interno del  proprio Sistema Confindustria nel mondo, di cui e’ parte integrante Confindustria Romania.

    Solo la Confindustria in Italia vanta ben 217 territoriali e Associazioni di Categorie, a cui si aggiunge Confindustria Est Europa, la Confederazione che puo’ contare su 11 Confindustrie Estere,  di cui la Romania e’ la piu’ storica e la piu’ grande. Confindustria Russia, molto radica in un mercato davvero interessante quanto difficile da avvicinare commercialmente. Oltre a Confindustria Assafrica & Mediterraneo che copre ben 70 paesi che si affacciano sul mediterraneo, medio oriente e Africa Sub Sahariana e australe.

    Al Sistema Confindustria nel mondo, si aggiungono la storica collaborazione con la Confagricoltura italiana e la condivisione progettuale, di una mutualita’ europea, discussa con i vertici di A.N.S.I. l’Associazione Nazionale sanita’ Integrativa italiana, partendo proprio dalla straordinaria esperienza mutualistica in Romania. A completamento del Progetto GATE ROMANIA, troviamo anche un network relazionale di importanti professionisti internazionali, con stabili organizzazioni in piu’ di 35 Paesi nel mondo, specializzati in investimenti Cross Border, a cui si aggiungono tutti gli strategici e innovativi Protocolli, sottoscritti da Confindustria Romania con le principali Forze Associative, Patronali, Sindacali e Camerali del Sistema Paese romeno.

    Una struttura organizzativa davvero impressionante che puo’ rappresentare per la Romania, in questa fase di ripartenza economica un partner strategico di collegamento con tutti i mercati internazionali per qualsiasi forma di interazione economica sia necessario attivare.                   

     “Le parole insegnano, gli esempi trascinano. Solo i fatti danno credibilità alle parole” (Sant’Agostino). Ecco quindi la nostra conceretezza espressa concretamente con i fatti, in questo innovativo Progetto per la Romania. Stiamo assistendo ad una riconfigurazione dei modelli logistici globali, dove emergono la diversificazione delle forniture e l’avvicinamento delle produzioni. Anche la Romania deve prepararsi ad essere maggiormente attrattiva, quindi in grado di reggere la competizone economica e produttiva tra i vari stati dell’Est Europa che a breve, inevitabilmente, si dovra’ affrontare. Sara’ strategico per il Paese poter disporre di canali d’interazione di nuova concezione verso i mercati internazionali, canali di assoluta professionalita’ e di comprovata capacita’ nella fase attuativa delle relazioni. Tutto questo e’ GATE ROMANIA”, conclude il Presidente Bertola.
