Smart tips for investors. Invest in Lombardy interview Vittorio De Luca

Vittorio De Luca in this interview (in English) explains the major advantages related to the world of work in Lombardy for foreign investors interested in accessing the region. Flexibility for businesses, new tools for the resolution of conflicts, and better foreseeability of the costs of “separating” company and employee are some of the advantages in an area of the Country that excels for its productivity and the high quality of its human capital.

In fact, 2017 has been a positive year for the Lombardy-region economy: its overall growth, along with the improvement of the labour market, led to an increase in employment and a reduction of the unemployment rate. The data show that employment levels increased by 1.3% compared to the previous year, pushed by the service sector (+4.1%, 116,000 new employees), women (+2.6%, 47,000 women workers) and fixed-term contracts.


The interview with Mr. Vittorio De Luca took place as part of the initiative “Why invest in Lombardy #AskOurPartner” by Invest in Lombardy, a service dedicated to the promotion of foreign investments managed by Promos (a Special Agency of the Chamber of Commerce of Milan, Monza, Brianza and Lodi), promoted by Unioncamere Lombardia and supported by Regione Lombardia.
