00:00To deepen the instruments of interconnection between the economy of space and the economy of the sea, two strategic pillars for the economic and technological future of Italy.
00:13This was the objective of the second edition of the Forum Space Blue, held at the Ministry of Business of Made in Italy in Rome,
00:21and opened by Ministers Urso and Musumeci, Minister for Civil Protection and Sea Policies,
00:26who talked about how Made in Italy has a crucial role, both in the spatial dimension and in the underwater dimension.
00:32There is still a certain distrust, and this is also due to the lack of centrality of the theme, at least until the recent past.
00:48It has become clear now, and not only from a military point of view, that having prominence in the spatial dimension and in the underwater dimension
00:59means giving an impositive shoulder to our economy.
01:04We need training, we need new professional skills,
01:08and we hope, therefore, the desire, the ambition of the new generations to turn their attention to these two spaces, sky and sea, which must look at each other, must collaborate.
01:24Some important American entrepreneurs have opened the economy of space to low orbits, and Italy in this sector already has an important role.
01:32Elon Musk, Bezos and many other American entrepreneurs have opened the economy of space to low orbits.
01:40So it is a dimension in which Italy already has an important role, and we decide to support the economy of Italian space,
01:52which is flanked by a much more traditional economy than that of the sea.
01:56So space and sea in the past and in the future of Italy.
02:00The parliamentary intergroup for the economy of the sea was born to emphasize how the sea no longer represents a border, but a point of union.
02:08We decided to make an intergroup precisely to bring to everyone the message of how important the economy of the sea is.
02:16The sea is no longer seen as a border between states and nations, but as a point of union, that of linking countries of different continents.
02:26In this case, Italy is at the center and at the center of the Mediterranean, which can unite the northern region with the southern region.
