This morning, at the Marche Chamber of Commerce, Ancona headquarters, the new Chamber of Commerce Council has been established for the five-year period 2024/2029 appointed by Decree of the President of the Marche Region; the highest chamber of chambers is made up of representatives of the regional production sectors based on the designations of the relevant trade associations.
The first act of the new Council was to elect from among its members the president of the Marche Chamber of Commerce; the choice, taken unanimously by the assembly, fell once again on Gino Sabatiniwho had already led the institution in the first five years with a regional profile after the unification of the five pre-existing territorial Chambers.
Gino Sabatini thanked the Council that elected him, and recalled the important work of the Chamber in the five complex years that the Marche institution, the first in Italy for geographical extension and the fifth for number of companies represented, has carried out.
“The watchword for this new mandate continues to be, with even more strength and sharing, for the valorization of the economy, businesses and the entire territory of the Marche” declared Sabatini “as we reiterate the concept of enterprise at the center, as the viaticum of this governance. The first five years have seen the economic system face new and truly complex challenges, today we are facing a new world with different priorities and urgencies: one is that of artificial intelligence which we will combine with artisanal, commercial, industrial and agricultural intelligence”.
On the same wavelength is the president of Unioncamere Andrea Prete, who followed all today’s work and of which Gino Sabatini is Deputy on the national board. “I applaud this re-election and there is no occasion in which it does not bring the Chamber of the Marche as a model of unification: an example of success of which the renewal of the President is a litmus test”, declared Andrea Prete, recalling that his first public appearance as President of the national chamber system was as a guest of Camera Marche in 2021 at MICAM. Prete underlined how the regional dimension of the Chamber of Commerce has made the Institution the first interlocutor of the Marche Region and how the Chambers of Commerce are useful to the extent that they are for businesses.
The President of the Marche Region Francesco Acquaroli also wanted to convey their greetings and best wishes to the President and the new Council.these have been years of great collaboration in critical moments and we are truly very satisfied with this continuity. The path of comparison and concertation of mutual growth for which I thank the Chamber of Commerce of the Marche is precious, which led us to work together, emerging from the pandemic emergency, to achieve priority objectives for our community with the assets of internationalization, tourism, development of the hinterland in first place. Together we have triggered a mechanism recognized as an institutional supply chain which is nothing other than loyal collaboration on the objectives of the community and which has led to the responsibility of all of us administrators. The hope for the coming years is to continue this convergence by capitalizing on the spirit and method matured in the five-year period“.
In addition to the fovernator, the undersecretary of the Ministry of Economy and Finance Lucia Albano was also present, who underlined the importance of the unified presence and compactness expressed by the Marche Chamber of Commerce, the councilor of the Municipality of Ancona Angelo Eliantonio, who thanked the Chamber for having consolidated a new dialogue with the regional capital, the Government’s extraordinary commissioner for Repair and Reconstruction Guido Castelli, who placed the emphasis on the simplification action carried out by the national and Marche chamber system also in reference to the application of the PNRR and complimenting Camera Marche’s ability to summarize.
