FUTURITALIA Strategic Plan (2026–2030)
This Strategic Plan establishes FUTURITALIA’s first five-year public roadmap for stabilization, foundational recovery, and project-driven national development. It explains how FUTURITALIA will use the Six Pillars, published projects, future project pipelines, classification systems, dashboards, and funding coordination tools to inform the public, partners, and stakeholders about the direction of FUTURITALIA’s work from 2026 to 2030.

Situational Summary
A public summary of the national context that informs the 2026–2030 strategic cycle.
National Context
FUTURITALIA’s first strategic cycle begins in a national context where many systems require stabilization, coordination, visibility, and structured project-based action. Governance capacity, infrastructure readiness, economic strength, resource security, social opportunity, and environmental stewardship do not all progress at the same pace. As a result, recovery and development must be coordinated through a common framework that identifies gaps, sequences action, supports project delivery, and measures progress in a disciplined and visible way.
The purpose of this first plan is not to complete national recovery in a single phase. Its purpose is to establish the foundational systems, project portfolio, classification frameworks, reporting tools, intelligence structures, and coordination mechanisms needed to begin structured gap closure across all six pillars.
Plan Highlights
Key themes shaping FUTURITALIA’s first five-year strategic cycle.
Public Direction
Communicates FUTURITALIA’s intended direction to citizens, partners, institutions, employers, universities, and aligned stakeholders.
Project-Driven Recovery
Confirms that recovery and development are delivered through structured projects, including published projects and future initiatives released progressively.
Monitoring & Visibility
Links strategic delivery to dashboards, indicators, project registers, classification systems, and future reporting tools across the Six Pillars.
Recovery and Development Through Projects
FUTURITALIA is project-driven because recovery and development are achieved through structured initiatives, not abstract statements.
FUTURITALIA uses a project-driven coordination model. Under this model, strategic priorities are converted into clear projects, systems, frameworks, platforms, pilots, dashboards, and public-interest tools. Projects provide the operational mechanism for planning, funding, coordination, implementation, monitoring, and public reporting.
Not all future projects are published at the start of the strategic cycle. Additional projects will be identified, developed, assessed, and released progressively as needs, partnerships, funding opportunities, data, and implementation capacity evolve.
2026–2030 Pillar Priorities and Project Portfolio
Each pillar includes a situational summary and a set of published or planned project directions. Additional projects will be published progressively throughout the strategic cycle as they are developed, assessed, and approved for public release.
Pillar 1 | Governance – For Justice
During the 2026–2030 cycle, the Governance Pillar will focus on building the coordination, accountability, reporting, legal, and institutional frameworks required to support FUTURITALIA’s project-driven recovery and development model. Governance work will help ensure that projects are properly structured, transparent, aligned with public-interest objectives, and supported by clear roles, mandates, and reporting systems.
- Develop governance coordination frameworks to support FUTURITALIA’s project-driven recovery and development model.
- Strengthen project governance, reporting, accountability, and approval structures across all pillars.
- Support the development of public-facing project registers, project status tracking, information notices, and transparency tools.
- Publish additional governance-related projects progressively as frameworks, needs, and partnership opportunities are developed.
Pillar 2 | Infrastructure – For Living
During the 2026–2030 cycle, the Infrastructure Pillar will focus on establishing the foundations for long-term infrastructure planning, classification, resilience, and pilot development. Infrastructure recovery and development will be advanced through structured projects that improve how infrastructure systems are defined, mapped, prioritized, and coordinated.
- National Infrastructure Classification (NIC) System — establish a unified framework for classifying infrastructure across twelve infrastructure domains.
- Innovation Park City | Special Economic Zone — develop a purpose-built pilot environment to test modern models of living, work, infrastructure, governance, and economic development.
- Support infrastructure mapping, gap identification, investment planning, resilience assessment, and future dashboard development.
- Publish additional infrastructure projects progressively as planning, feasibility work, and IRFA assessments are completed.
Pillar 3 | Economy – For Businesses
During the 2026–2030 cycle, the Economy Pillar will focus on building the economic intelligence, classification, and coordination systems needed to support business development, investment alignment, funding opportunities, sector visibility, and long-term economic diversification.
- National Business Classification (NBC) System — establish a unified framework for classifying businesses, institutions, and economic actors.
- Use NBC data to support economic mapping, sector intelligence, business analysis, funding alignment, and Job Bank integration.
- Develop future economic intelligence tools, sector reporting products, and funding opportunity coordination systems.
- Publish additional economy projects progressively as sector priorities, business needs, and development opportunities are identified.
Pillar 4 | Resources – For Sustainability
During the 2026–2030 cycle, the Resources Pillar will focus on creating the foundations for national resource visibility, stewardship, resilience, and long-term sustainability. Resource recovery and development will be supported through classification, mapping, intelligence, and future planning tools.
- National Resource Classification (NRC) System — establish a unified framework for classifying Italy’s natural resources across eight resource domains.
- Support resource mapping, sustainability planning, resource security analysis, and intergenerational stewardship.
- Develop future tools for resource intelligence, reporting, resilience assessment, and funding alignment.
- Publish additional resource projects progressively as classification work, planning tools, and partnership opportunities are developed.
Pillar 5 | Social – For People
During the 2026–2030 cycle, the Social Pillar will focus on people, opportunity, employment, education alignment, social mobility, and labour-market transparency. Social recovery and development will be advanced through projects that connect citizens, employers, institutions, and public-interest systems.
- Job Bank Platform — develop a unified national employment platform connecting people, employers, education, workforce planning, and labour-market intelligence.
- National Occupational Classification (NOC) System — provide a standardized framework for occupations, skills, role levels, wage transparency, and career pathways.
- Support integration between the Job Bank, NOC, NBC, territorial catalogues, employer verification, and labour-market intelligence systems.
- Publish additional social projects progressively as program needs, public services, and partnership opportunities are developed.
Pillar 6 | Environment – For Nature
During the 2026–2030 cycle, the Environment Pillar will focus on establishing the foundations for environmental intelligence, protection, monitoring, stewardship, and alignment with recovery and development projects. Environmental work will support long-term resilience by ensuring that projects remain compatible with ecological protection and sustainable development.
- Develop environmental monitoring, reporting, and classification alignment tools connected to resource, infrastructure, and territorial planning.
- Support environmental consideration within IRFA assessments, project planning, and cross-pillar recovery initiatives.
- Strengthen future reporting on land, water, air, contamination, ecological function, and environmental resilience.
- Publish additional environmental projects progressively as environmental priorities, data needs, and recovery opportunities are identified.
