Regione Friuli Venezia Giulia
 
Friuli Venezia Giulia is a sea-region located in the heart of Europe. This is the reason why Friuli Venezia Giulia is a natural “logistic hub” and has been representing its developed logistic system as from transport logistic 2005 in Munich. The Adriatic Sea is the route connecting Friuli Venezia Giulia to the world through the opportunities offered by its ports that are the easiest and fastest gateway linking Europe and the Far East through direct routes crossing the Suez Canal, representing the natural terminal of the “sea motorways” along the Adriatic axis. In fact the Trieste Port Authority is more and more increasing its freight traffic to China’s ports, i.e. Shanghai, with two weekly shipments, thanks also to the well developed regional logistic transport system.

Presently representing a major logistics platform, it acts as an interface between Far East and Central Europe, thanks to its outstanding port structures (name it: Venice) and the related inland facilities including integrated logistics intermodal hubs (Padua, Verona). Additionally, the region is home to the airports of Venice and Verona, the former of which (Marco Polo Airport) being the third intercontinental airport in Italy.
