International expertise, tangible impact
We operate in the field of international cooperation and large-scale infrastructure development.
Our projects span port logistics, food security, advanced agriculture, and sustainable waste management.
Infrastructure, logistics and sustainable development
–
Projects from $1B to $10B
Connecting MED – Taranto Logistics Hub | $10B
Master Plan for Mediterranean logistics, transportation, and infrastructure.
Development of the Port of Taranto as a strategic hub on the Belt & Road and the IMEC (India-Middle East-Europe Economic Corridor).
Italy is a signatory of the MoU at the G20 Summit in New Delhi (2023).
Taranto is naturally positioned as the Mediterranean terminal of the IMEC corridor, a strategic alternative to the Belt & Road Initiative, connecting India, the Persian Gulf, and Europe via railway, ports, and digital infrastructure.
April 2025: construction of infrastructure (railways, logistics hubs, ports) begins across participating regions.
Strategic position
Taranto is the optimal point in the center of the Mediterranean, the natural landing for the Meridian Corridor from the Suez Canal
Competitive advantage
Shanghai–Munich via Taranto in 23 days (vs 30 days via Rotterdam – 26 via Piraeus)
Environmental benefits
Shifting 1M TEU from Northern European ports to Taranto would reduce CO2 emissions by approximately 60,000 tonnes/year
Capacity
Container traffic from 1 MTEUs up to 5-6 MTEUs without additional investment in Distripark and logistics platform
Intermodality
Integrated Port-Railway-Highway-Airport system (Grottaglie cargo airport less than 20 km away)
TEN-T Network
Taranto connected to the Scan-Med and Adriatic-Baltic corridors of the Trans-European Transport Network
SEZ/FTZ
Active Special Economic Zones and Free Trade Zones
Scale-up potential
10+ MTEUs with network amplification to Gioia Tauro, Manfredonia, Civitavecchia, Genoa, and Trieste
| 23 | 1M+ |
| DAYS SHANGHAI–MUNICH VIA TARANTO | SQM BACK-PORT AREA |
| €3.6B | 10+ |
| PLANNED WORKS VALUE | POTENTIAL MTEUs |
Food Security – Open Sea Mariculture | $41M per platform
Offshore platforms for open-sea fish farming: food security, environmental sustainability, and high profitability.
Technology
Fully submersible cages on deep seabeds, operational even in oceanic conditions
Minimal environmental impact
Reduces pressure on natural fish stocks and promotes marine regeneration
Superior quality
More natural farming conditions, enabling innovative and profitable species (e.g., bluefin tuna)
Employment
New direct and indirect jobs (processing, logistics, maintenance)
Operating capacity
8,000 tonnes/year per platform — first stock ready within year 1, full capacity by year 4
Investment
$41M for construction and commissioning per single platform
Operating margin
$50M/year at full capacity per platform
Ongoing R&D
Collaboration with international research institutes and local academia
| $41M | $50M |
| INVESTMENT PER PLATFORM | OPERATING MARGIN/YEAR |
| 8,000 | 4 |
| TONNES/YEAR | YEARS TO FULL CAPACITY |
Calabria Development – Agritech & Social Innovation | $2B
Integrated development plan for Calabria: advanced agricultural technologies, social inclusion, and international cooperation with Israeli know-how.
Education Center
Training hub for agriculture, agrarian research, and innovative technologies for the local community
Inclusion
Integration of people with disabilities into hydroponic farming facilities and agricultural areas
Hydroponic Farms
Hydroponic farms for key crops, delivering water efficiency and broad-cycle employment
Water infrastructure
Advanced systems for water conservation and groundwater quality management
Crop diversification
Citrus fruits, pomegranates, flowers — positioning Calabria as a reference point for the floriculture market
Israeli know-how
Technology transfer for cowsheds, water systems, pomegranates, wine and cosmetics
Pilot project
Low-cost experimentation to evaluate territorial advantages and challenges
Goal
Economic security, new employment, and valorization of local resources
Waste-to-Value — Pyrolysis Plant Rende (CS) – Italy | €8M per plant
Ultra-low environmental impact pyrolysis technology for municipal solid waste recovery: conversion into hydrocarbon oils, fuels, and plastic materials.
European technology
Emissions well below EU regulatory limits (NOx, SO2, CO, HCl all under threshold)
Output
Electricity (grid sale or net metering) + hydrocarbon oils for fuels/plastics
Investment
Approximately €8M for a plant sized for ~24,000 tonnes/year of MSW
Operating margin
€2M to €3M/year, with a positive impact on the municipal budget
Modularity
Plants configurable in different sizes with economies of scale
Synergy with waste sorting
Separating the organic fraction improves plant efficiency
Employment
Creation of stable local jobs
Case study
Sized for the city of Rende (CS) — 24,000 t of MSW produced in 2019
