The "Risorsa Mare" Forum

In 2023, TEHA in collaboration with the Minister for Civil Protection and Sea Policies, Nello Musumeci, and under the patronage of the Presidency of the Council of Ministers, launched a spinoff initiative of the "Verso Sud" platform, aimed at drawing attention on the sea as an inestimable resource.

"Risorsa Mare" focuses on the competitiveness and attractiveness of the whole maritime supply chain, aggregating the different components of the national and European socio-economic political system around the priorities of intervention and promotion for the sector, especially from an industrial perspective: maritime security and the Mediterranean Sea, fisheries and underwater dimension, transportation and cruising, ports, environment and smaller islands, training, sports and nautics.

To this end, the initiative is conceived to be recurrent (being held every year) and itinerant (taking place in a different Italian port city each time). The first edition took place in Trieste, chief town of the Friuli Venezia Giulia region (September 15-15, 2023), and the second took place in Palermo, Sicily (Setember 25-26, 2024).

In 2025, the Forum will be held in Civitavecchia, Lazio, on September 25-26, 2025.

SDGs Evaluation statement

The second edition of the Sea Resource Forum obtained from RINA the SDGs Evaluation statement for the pursuit of four Sustainable Development Goals promoted by the UN 2030 Agenda. (6, 13, 14, and 17).

Through the development of its own verification methodology, RINA measured the contribution of policies, strategies, and activities adopted by TEHA Group in managing the content, programme and operational organisation of the ‘2024 Risorsa Mare Forum’ against the selected Goals of the 2030 Agenda.
