Tour d'Europe - Milan Stage
2025-05-19 09:00 - 13:00
Our associate Eni – Enilive, which is dedicated to mobility products and services, is participating in the Tour d’Europe, an initiative during which several light and heavy vehicles travel through 20 European countries with the objectives of demonstrating the potential of fuels from renewable raw materials and raising awareness among the public and policy makers about the role of these energy carriers in the path to decarbonization of the transportation sector, which can be successfully achieved if all available solutions are used, according to the principle of technology neutrality.
The Tour d’Europe involves companies, associations and institutions from the automotive and fuel supply chain including Enilive, among the leaders in the production of HVO (Hydrotreated Vegetable Oil), and academic institutions. HVO is a diesel biofuel made from 100 percent renewable raw materials*-primarily waste, such as waste cooking oils and animal fats, and residues from the agri-food industry-that can be used by validated engines and is distributed through existing infrastructure.
The Milan leg of the Tour d’Europe, scheduled for Monday, May 19, will be held at the Palazzo di Regione Lombardia.
Present for the Cluster will be President Dr. Saverio Gaboardi and Development Manager Eng. Piersandro Trevisan.

"To be or not to be: the mobility dilemma between innovation and adaptation" - Concluding Conference of the Connected Vehicle & Mobility Observatory 2024-25
2025-05-20 09:30 - 13:00
The mobility sector is undergoing an unprecedented transformation, driven by technological innovation and a changing economic environment. The need to ensure, at the same time, economic and environmental sustainability is redefining strategies and business models, forcing all players in the sector to adapt rapidly. In Europe-and in our country in particular-the diffusion of electric vehicles is proceeding slowly, held back by high costs and the need to improve the user experience.
In parallel, Smart Mobility and Smart Road projects are taking off, supported by the expansion of V2X networks, the advancement of autonomous driving technologies, and strategic initiatives at the national level. Connectivity, data and Artificial Intelligence play a central role, enabling increasingly personalized and accessible experiences. The future of mobility relies on smart infrastructure, digital services, and increased consumer focus, with the goal of balancing innovation and sustainability to revitalize the European industry.
The conference will be an opportunity to present market numbers, analyze the consumer perspective, news on the electric vehicle front, geopolitical scenarios, the evolution of V2X technologies, the role of AI, and the impacts arising from new business models that are transforming the industry.
Attendees in attendance will have free access to the printed report with the main results of the Research.
On the day of the event, it will be possible to experience first-hand the most innovative solutions on the market thanks to the presence of smart vehicles displayed outside the venue and Demo Corners where some companies will show their technological developments in Vehicle & Mobility.
Attendees in attendance will have the opportunity to ask questions of company speakers during the event, via QR Code found inside the badge.
Free event, open to the public upon registration HERE.
Participating for the Cluster will be Development Manager Eng. Piersandro Trevisan and President Dr. Saverio Gaboardi.

"BRESCIA DNA FUTURE - DEMOGRAPHY, IMMIGRATION, DIGITAL, COMPETENCES - The four challenges of today and tomorrow" - Confindustria BS and Catholic University
2025-05-21 15:00 - 17:00
The seminar “BRESCIA DNA FUTURE – DEMOGRAPHY, IMMIGRATION, DIGITAL, COMPETENCES – The Four Challenges of Today and Tomorrow” is organized by Confindustria Brescia in collaboration with the Observatory for the Territory (OpTer) of the Catholic University of the Sacred Heart.

The study focuses in particular on a number of key phenomena that are already profoundly affecting the economic and social fabric of our area, such as population decline and its impacts, the still partial integration of immigrants into society and businesses, and the ongoing digital transformation, including the rapid spread ofartificial intelligence.
The goal is to offer a strategic and integrated vision to address these challenges, identifying concrete actions at the local and national levels: from demographic and migration policies, to initiatives for training, innovation and inclusion, thanks also to the intervention of important guests from the institutional world.

After institutional greetings by Franco Gussalli Beretta (President Confindustria Brescia) and Mario Taccolini (Università Cattolica del Sacro Cuore), speakers – moderated by journalist Dario Di Vico – will be Giovanni Marseguerra (Università Cattolica del Sacro Cuore), Filippo Schittone (General Manager Confindustria Brescia), Davide Fedreghini (Centro Studi Confindustria Brescia), Maddalena Colombo (Università Cattolica del Sacro Cuore), Daniela Bragoli (Università Cattolica del Sacro Cuore) and Ivana Pais (Università Cattolica del Sacro Cuore).

50TH ANNIVERSARY OF IVECO - O.G.R. Turin
2025-06-12 12:30 - 17:00
Inaugural day of our member IVECO’s 50th anniversary celebration will be held on June 12, starting at 11:30 a.m. at Officine Grandi Riparazioni in Turin.
IVECO’s journey began in 1975, when five of Europe’s leading industrial vehicle manufacturers (Fiat Industrial Vehicles, with Officine Meccaniche and Lancia Special Vehicles, the French company Unic, and Germany’s Magirus-Deutz) decided to bring together 150 years of design and innovation experience under one name: IVECO, an acronym for Industrial Vehicles Corporation.
Through acquisitions, mergers and partnerships, IVECO has gained a leading role in the global road transport industry, establishing a consolidated presence as a manufacturer and commercial service provider in both major industrialized countries and emerging markets. Always synonymous with excellence, IVECO combines tradition and innovation to design vehicles ready to meet the most diverse needs of its customers. IVECO, together with ASTRA, FPT Industrial, HEULIEZ, IDV, IVECO BUS and IVECO CAPITAL, is currently part of a Group representing seven brands and offering a full range of commercial vehicles, powertrains, buses, specialty vehicles and financial services.
IVECO today is therefore one of the main players in the transportation sector worldwide, thanks to a global presence strengthened by a production reality consisting of 7 plants and 8 R&D centers in Europe, Asia, Africa, Oceania and Latin America, as well as an extensive dealer network with 3,500 locations including sales outlets and service centers supporting customers in more than 160 countries.
For the Cluster, President Dr. Saverio Gaboardi will participate.
