Our expertise on statistical methodologies and in developing sound composite indicators provides policy-makers with the ‘big picture’ for informed policy decisions and progress monitoring.

COIN Open Day - The Regional Logistics Performance

The Regional Logistics Performance RLPM * will integrate several logistics performance indicators at NUTs 2 level, to look at the competitive position of Lombardy Vis-à-vis selected European regions with similar characteristics or European regions recognised worldwide for being best in class logistics clusters, i.e. Rotterdam, Amsterdam, and Munich.

Date of event: Friday, February 14, 2020 - 09:30 to 16:00

Where: Ispra, Italy

Aim:

The Regional Logistics Performance RLPM * will integrate several logistics performance indicators at NUTs 2 level, to look at the competitive position of Lombardy Vis-à-vis selected European regions with similar characteristics or European regions recognised worldwide for being best in class logistics clusters, i.e. Rotterdam, Amsterdam, and Munich. The RLP was requested to be built upon four pillars: Competitiveness, Cost, Connectivity, and Innovation. The core NACE Rev 2 sectors to be taken onboard in our study will very likely be (H49-H53): Land transport, Water transport, Air transport, Warehousing and support activities for transportation, and Postal and Currier activities.

Description:

The RLPM is thought as an enabling platform for research-driven regional logistics in Lombardy and throughout Europe to mutually learn to achieve more sustainable and competitive freight gateways and hubs with associated logistical services and transport operations. The Chamber of commerce of Milan Monza Brianza Lodi, expects the RLPM to produce insights to help on its role to support businesses and promote the local economy, in line with national and international players. The RLPM will be used to monitor progress and general impact that international, national and local public and sectoral policies may have in each logistics region, in terms of competitiveness, cost, connectivity and innovation capacity. In sum, not only the RLPM will help monitor the general state of the industry at regional level, but it will be the basis for looking at best practices to keep regions in line with local conditions across Europe, and by setting priorities in the areas most needed to maintain the quality of life of their local constituencies, as advised by European Smart Specialization Strategies.

* M stands for the Milanese Logistics Region, term developed by Prof. Dallari & Dr. Curi. This is the region to be analysed Vis-à-vis the rest of the European logistics regions.
