00:00A colossus of the energy transition, of the green chemistry that comes to invest here
00:13in Catania.
00:14Another great milestone for our industrial zone, a beautiful signal for the teaching of sustainability.
00:21I am grateful to Gruppo Maire because having invited Catania as a seat to settle, it has
00:27given a further boost to the intentions of many entrepreneurs who want to settle in
00:32our territory.
00:33I believe that Catania is, at the moment, expecting a favorable moment, which puts it
00:41at the top, or at the top of the national rankings, because the ecosystem in the field
00:47of innovation and digitization is bringing more and more people to believe in the opportunities
00:53that open up in our territory.
00:55On the other hand, we have a strategic and geographical dimension that offers us many
01:00opportunities.
01:01You just have to look around a little, instead of looking only at Europe, and look at the
01:05Mediterranean to understand how many important opportunities open up for all these colossi
01:10of the digital industry, but also for those who want to bet on a future, in the light
01:16of a greater reduction of CO2 and carbon in general.
01:22But young people can also bet that they can have an opportunity here, in the place where
01:27they were born and are no longer forced to leave.
01:30He said very well, in the sense that we have experienced a progressive enrichment of our
01:35best lymph, which are our young people, who for too long have looked at other territorial
01:42realities.
01:43Now they have understood that the future is here.
01:46We will not be able to absorb the demand that there will be of assumptions in all this
01:52industrial sector, and we will have to import brains from the rest of Italy, from the rest
01:57of Europe.
01:58And this, of course, is a good challenge that we must be ready to accept.
02:03Challenge that, when could it be realized?
02:05What times are given for all this?
02:07But look, do you consider that only if we think about the investment of S&T Microelectronics,
02:12which by 2030 wants to invest 5 billion dollars, with the assumption of 3,000 electronic engineers
02:18and so much to have an idea, our university has registrations for 300 students a year
02:24in electronic engineering, this makes it possible to understand what is the dimension and the
02:28product that it can create.
02:29We are at this moment looking with great interest also some important players in the real estate
02:35sector, also in the investment sector, because they have understood that Catania has a series
02:41of indicators that allow us to believe in a strong relaunch of our territory.
