Their multidisciplinary approach combines expertise in scaling up advanced solutions to business development, scientific advisory, by European funding, perfectly fitting in our network’s mission.
FIT Consulting actively operates in areas such as the Physical Internet, Intelligent Transport Systems (ITS), Zero emission solutions and new governance models supporting the twin transition. With a proven track record in EU-funded projects and a strong commitment to innovation and sustainability, FIT Consulting brings a unique ability to transform market challenges into shared-value opportunities; a quality that will greatly enrich OPEN ENLoCC’s collaborative ecosystem and strengthen our growing network of Regional Logistics Competence Centers.
Welcoming FIT Consulting into the network, Giuseppe Luppino, President of OPEN ENLoCC, emphasized the value of this new partnership: “It is a real pleasure to welcome FIT Consulting. I’ve known their team – and in particular Paola Cossu and Massimo Marciani – since 2006. Over the years, we’ve shared a common vision for smarter, more sustainable logistics ecosystem, and this new phase of collaboration marks a natural and promising evolution. FIT brings energy, expertise, and a strong innovation mindset, with competencies in urban mobility, logistics and project development that complement our network perfectly. Their presence will certainly add strategic value, not least thanks to their established role in national and European contexts. At the same time, OPEN ENLoCC offers a platform to support the take-up of innovative solutions at the regional level, aligned with our mission to make collaborative regional logistics a reality in Europe – a true win–win situation. FIT Consulting’s joining marks an important step in our collective journey, and I am confident that this partnership will bring tangible added value for all members of our network.”
This shared vision is echoed by Paola Cossu, CEO of FIT Consulting, who sees OPEN ENLoCC as a key opportunity to scale up impact: “We joined ENLoCC as we truly believe that regional approach to logistics is a must. Larger impacts and opportunities for dispersed areas but also developing systemic transition over multi-domain and multi-dimensional areas. This will involve critical mass of demand, inclusiveness and wider impact areas. The network will also be beneficial to FIT complementing the research and innovation with regional cohesion funds, important for scaling up and capitalise on efforts and focused investments. We will consolidate the long-lasting collaboration with the President Giuseppe Luppino, and we are so glad to start collaborating more systematically with the team.”
