Network contracts still growing in Italy. Last September, this business aggregation model exceeded 3 experiences, involving over 15 companies scattered throughout the country, with no province excluded. At regional level, Lombardy is the first Italian region for the number of companies that have entered into a network contract (2.647), followed by Tuscany (1.544), Emilia-Romagna (1.509), Veneto (1.373) and Lazio (1.342).
This is what emerges from the monitoring by Unioncamere and InfoCamere of the network contracts filed with the Business Register on 3 September last. Excluding Rome and Milan, which holds the natural record for the number of companies involved (974 and 920 respectively), this map shows the strong vocation of some small-medium provinces for collaboration between companies, such as Brescia (407), Verona (330 ), Bergamo (320) and Udine (309), all among the top ten positions in the provincial classification.
An identikit that takes on an even clearer profile if one compares the number of companies in the network with the total of companies existing in each area: the entrepreneurs of Friuli-Venezia Giulia are more willing to collaborate (6,4 companies in the network for every thousand in the region compared to a national average of 2,5), then those of Abruzzo (5,5) and Tuscany (3,7).
