In his speech, President Tomas highlighted how, in a time of major geopolitical, economic and social transformations, macro-regional cooperation represents a key instrument to turn political commitments into concrete results for territories, businesses and citizens.

Particular attention was dedicated to:
♻️ the role of Green Public Procurement and circular economy initiatives in accelerating the green transition across the macro-region; GPP2Adrion
📊 the DO-AIR Observatory project, developed together with the Marche Region and Marche Polytechnic University, as a permanent tool for evidence-based regional cooperation;
🌿 the promotion of the Mediterranean Diet as a driver of sustainability, tourism and territorial development;
👩‍💼 support for women’s entrepreneurship, youth mobility and stronger cooperation between businesses, universities and institutions.

Forum AIC also welcomed the growing political support for the EU Strategy for the Adriatic - Ionian Region Strategy and looks forward to the upcoming Italian Presidency of the Strategy, which will coincide with the 25th anniversary of the Forum of the Adriatic and Ionian Chambers of Commerce.

He also expressed his appreciation to the European Parliament Members for its growing interest and support towards initiatives aimed at strengthening the Adriatic-Ionian macro-region and advancing cooperation within the EUSAIR framework.

🤝 Continuity, trust and cooperation remain essential to building a more competitive, resilient and sustainable Adriatic-Ionian Region.
