The web is becoming fundamental for work promotion and development actions. In defiance of the 'Apocalyptics', in fact, in 2014 the 65% of the new companies headed by young people "under 35" used the website for its business activities not only for marketing and/or commercialization operations but also for sales online. This was revealed by a survey on the needs of SMEs presented to the Summer School organized by the Study Foundation of Labor Consultants.
The Internet proves to be formidable not only for the transmission of knowledge - the pros and cons of which require further debate and analysis - but also and above all for social and economic development.
The web, exports and digital are the three main tools with which, in recent years, small and medium-sized Italian companies have tried to get out of the economic crisis and improve their productivity.

The impetus for the birth of new activities and the development of existing ones comes from new information technologies. The future of companies therefore depends on the ability to renew themselves in order to seize new opportunities through the use of new strategies and an efficient organization model capable of developing the business competitively and making the most of all the resources employed.

In short, it supports (and sometimes even supports or replaces) the Chambers of Commerce.

With the LR. 32/2014, the Basilicata Region has launched a network of intangible infrastructures for industrial development by entrusting direction to Ficei and Ficei has created the consortium company RIISI with the Sud'Altro Consulting.
But this is not innovation! A bill, currently under examination by the Senate of the Republic, proposes to convert abandoned industrial areas and Ficei has been audited by the Senate's Industry Commission. The bill, signed by Camilla Fabbri of the Democratic Party, provides for an allocation, from the Ministry for Economic Development, of a fund of 150 million, spread over two years, for reconversion and redevelopment projects in abandoned industrial areas. The Director of Ficei, a few days after the hearing, gave an interview to Il Sole 24 Ore.
But the tireless Director, Dr. Giannattasio didn't stop there. It has opened up to internationalization, starting a collaboration with IRAN and OMAN and for the occasion it intends to organize a conference in Naples in the splendid setting of Villa Doria D'Angri in Posillipo, next October …
