“Our economy is indeed divided, but it is not picking up. It is a modest lift that will get us quickly to pre-recession levels. To get back on top we must equip. We must think big, pigs ambitious, but achievable. We must move from the vision statement, from the critical to the proposals, to find solutions. “
Courage is the key meeting of entrepreneurs from South Tyrol, and Vincenzo Boccia, President of Confindustria, from here, from the need to “overcome anxieties, with optimism, which is a category of the will, and with self-confidence, which is a category of reason. In summary: we have to have confidence. ”
Starting precisely by companies: “What are we to do, companies and Confindustria, because the slow ascent turns into a real recovery? Today the industry averages are no longer significant. In the same area there are companies that go very well and other very bad. The first are those who have focused on quality, innovating products, processes and services. The latter have sought a solution only in cutting costs and investment. “
” In the same area there are companies that go very well and other very bad. The first are those who have focused on quality, innovating products, processes and services “
Vincenzo Boccia, President of Confindustria
” Many companies do not they still made a net field choice – continues Petanque -. We have a duty to point the right way and give them the courage to make the cultural leap that the new paradigm requires. But this is not enough. We also have a duty to explain, and to demonstrate that the quality is the mature fruit of many elements: governance and managerial capacity to dialogue with the financial community; international presence and ability to intercept the trends; attitude to innovation with research and development investments; care of the human capital through constant training. We have a duty to assist and support our businesses in this process of complex change, but possible. We must be the protagonists and ride the fourth industrial revolution, that must be our revolution, in our factories. “
The one that opens Boccia is a great season of participation. Beginning with the relationship with the unions: “Industrial relations have become a factor of competitiveness, must be part of a comprehensive intervention of industrial policy, should help define rules for business growth, build relations between people aware that they share the objectives corporate development and working in the interests of all, to address the productivity gap. Industrial relations should help to reduce the gap that separates us from other European countries and, in particular, from Germany, which is seriously hampering the competitiveness of our products and services and which could lead to paralysis of the Italian industrial system. The salary exchange / productivity is the crucial question. The national contract must remain the reference for the basic protections of labor, while corporate contracts must be more and more the place of the virtuous exchange and the reaction of our businesses. “
Ability
No games downward, is the message: “We want higher productivity to pay higher wages, setting in motion a virtuous economic circle.
As for the banks, “together we have to define a policy for credit and corporate finance, support companies in raising external capital to allow them to grow without debt. Doing so requires that the Elite draft Italian Stock Exchange will become the showcase that allows our companies to present themselves to the capital market. Elite has become a quantitatively significant project which involved not only several hundred companies, but several thousand. We have to work with the banks so that they evaluate the quantitative parameters of the so-called quality parameters, the intangible. Evaluate our business not only on the present, but their potential, also consider their future. “
Boccia calls” a modern capitalism. But modern capitalism needs of a modern country, a modern democracy, modern institutions. To make it serve the reforms “, he stressed, before the minister for Maria Elena Boschi reforms.
” The reforms are necessary path – says the president of the industrial – to free the country from the vetoes and particularism that They helped stifle it in the status quo. Reforms can usher in a great season of responsibility, in which the ruler chooses and makes decisions. With the consensus that is measured by its results. The reforms are part of the history and DNA of Confindustria. This is why since 2010 we strive to overcome the perfect bicameralism and reform the Title V of the Constitution. Because these steps are preparatory to the governance, stability and the building of a modern country. “
At the heart of the president of Confindustria puts” the major national issue, which is the industrial issue. Italy is the second largest manufacturing country in Europe, one of the seven largest economic powers in the world, but not yet equipped with an industrial policy. Now is the time to do so. Our idea is simple: attention to structural factors of the competition with a look at the short, medium and long term, clearly the priorities, convergent use of all public intervention levers. In this context it should be designed and built a great plan of redevelopment of public and private buildings, and should be planned investments in tangible and intangible infrastructures, which are absolutely necessary for the development of the country, and that would help also to reactivate domestic demand. “
just in Bolzano held annually since 2010, the Italo-German Business Forum between Confindustria and BDI (German association), “and thanks to these meetings we were able to promote in Brussels awareness of the irreplaceable nature of the manufacturing and the need to focus on the industry to revive growth, “recalls Boccia, who put the president of the South Tyrolean entrepreneurs Stefan Pan’s Council of regional representations:” This will become the preferred antenna of local sensibilities, the place where collect and disseminate good practices, make it short. ” A choice that is also symbolic: “Who better than an entrepreneur who comes from a land bridge between different cultures and countries can help build a bridge between our regions and between them and Europe?”. A Pan, Boccia recognizes “extraordinary abilities in composing different interests, great sensitivity and a knowledge and expertise that will enable him to lead the Council with balance and vision.”
Finally, the European question, with the possibility of Brexit rising in the polls: “in just over two weeks Britain will decide whether to remain in the European Union. It risks the same founding principle of the European Union. The free movement of persons. A principle of civilization.
The Schengen break immediately would put us out of history. Yet many do not understand it. They do not understand, and here I quote a phrase Stefan, that “close the Brenner is how to block an artery, would cause a heart attack.” And do not remember that a little less than thirty years ago, we, in Europe, the walls shot down them. It’s up to us to remember that Europe is the best fruit of our post-war policy. That was created to mediate, to educate tolerance, promote economic growth and social development. “
