The role of Sicily

A strategic platform at the centre of the world

A vast geographic basin that attracts international investment from air, sea and rail.

Thanks to its vast size and privileged location, Sicily is not only the largest island in the Mediterranean, but also a strategic trade platform between Africa and Europe, capable of intercepting 1.5 billion people, with an annual transit of over 55 million tourists.

Sicily’s particularly advantageous geographic location offers the Group the opportunity to enter into partnerships of a different nature. Such as the one stipulated by Caronte & Tourist with Telepass and Autostrade, which allows the holding company to monitor traffic trends so as to predict the number of people arriving at the maritime ports, or alternative business activities, such as the construction of ESI: a project to extract lead from spent batteries, carried out in collaboration with one of the leading players in the sector: the Sommariva Group.

This is the first of a series of partnerships started with operators in the Chinese market.
