Ascolta la versione audio dell'articolo 3' di lettura English Version Translated by AI. For feedback, please contact english@ilsole24ore.com Un premio per imprenditrici, un progetto di idrogeno verde nel cuore della Sicilia petrolchimica, una società tecnologica nata a Catania nel 1986, quando la parola startup non era ancora nel lessico dell’impresa. La terza edizione del Premio “Lympha – Raffaella Mandarano” si può leggere così: non solo un bando, ma un cortocircuito tra passato e futuro. Il premio, dedicato alla manager catanese scomparsa nel gennaio 2024, è rivolto a donne tra i 18 e i 35 anni con progetti ad alto impatto sociale, ambientale e tecnologico. Le candidature resteranno aperte fino al 16 settembre 2026. La consegna è prevista a Catania il 9 ottobre. Alla vincitrice andranno 2 mila euro e un percorso di incubazione di quattro mesi, per un valore di 10 mila euro. Loading... La storia dietro il premio Fin qui la cronaca. Poi c’è la storia industriale. Giuseppe Mario Patti, marito di Raffaella Mandarano e fondatore del Premio Lympha per ricordarne la visione, la riassume così: «Il Sud può anticipare». Patti è ingegnere civile e idraulico, specialista di sistemi di automazione e telecontrollo per reti idriche e gas. Nel 1986 Mandarano fondò Proteo insieme a lui e ad altri giovani laureati. Il campo era l’idroinformatica: idraulica, idrologia e informatica applicate alla gestione dell’acqua. Oggi si parlerebbe di innovazione per le utility. Allora era una scommessa pionieristica. «Il talento e la tecnologia non hanno bisogno di emigrare per esistere. Hanno bisogno di una rete», dice Patti. È la frase che porta il discorso fuori dalla commemorazione e dentro l’economia reale: competenze, imprese, massa critica.

Energia, Urso: "Accolta la richiesta dell'Italia per la riforma degli Ets" 6 giugno 2026 (LaPresse) La richiesta dell'Italia di fare la riforma degli Ets è stata accolta e il 10 giugno ci sarà la proposta dell’Europa. Lo ha detto il ministro delle Imprese e del Made in Italy, Adolfo Urso, in occasione del 55° convegno nazionale dal titolo "People - La nostra promessa di futuro", a Rapallo (Genova). Il governo italiano "ha presentato una proposta di riforma insieme ad altri Stati europei e ci auguriamo sia accolta in questo progetto di revisione, non è un caso che sia proprio il governo italiano a guidare il processo di riforma in Europa: l'abbiamo imposto noi con le nostre proposte e ora finalmente quel processo si è attivato. Sì, procede lentamente, perché le procedure europee sono piuttosto complicate", ha aggiunto Urso.

Apre oggi in piazza Galiberti, a Cuneo, piazza Coldiretti, in concomitanza con la Giornata mondiale dell'ambiente. Si tratta di uno spazio pensato per portare l'agricoltura nel cuore di Cuneo e raccontarne il valore. Piazza Coldiretti proseguirà fino al 7 giugno.Il presidio dell'agricoltore, spiega Coldiretti, è fondamentale nella tutela del paesaggio e della biodiversità. A Cuneo il 45% del territorio provinciale è infatti gestito da agricoltori. L'agricoltura svolge inoltre un ruolo positivo e attivo nel contrasto ai cambiamenti climatici. Le coltivazioni contribuiscono alla cattura del carbonio e alla riduzione dei gas serra: un ettaro di mais può assorbire fino a 42 tonnellate di anidride carbonica all'anno e, anche considerando le emissioni legate alle pratiche agricole, il bilancio complessivo resta fortemente positivo.In provincia di Cuneo, con 45 mila ettari di mais, 30 mila ettari di frumento tenero e 26 mila ettari di vigneti, le coltivazioni rappresentano un autentico polmone verde, capace di assorbire oltre 2,3 milioni di tonnellate di Co2 all'anno e di rilasciare ossigeno. Ogni ettaro coltivato contribuisce inoltre alla salvaguardia della fertilità del suolo, rafforzando il ruolo dell'agricoltura come presidio ambientale e strumento concreto di contrasto al cambiamento climatico."Ogni giorno gli agricoltori presidiano il territorio, lo mantengono vivo e lo proteggono. La cura dell'ambiente passa dal lavoro agricolo, dalla presenza delle imprese nelle aree rurali e montane, dalla difesa del suolo e della biodiversità", dichiara il presidente di Coldiretti Cuneo, Enrico Nada.

Drewry’s World Container Index jumps 23% in one week driven by Transpacific and Asia – Europe June 5, 2026 Container shipping rates are surging as lines roll out a flurry of peak season surcharges (PSS). TheDrewryWorld Container Index (WCI) was up 23% at $3,433 per feu on 4 June compared to $2,800 per feu a week earlier driven by increases on the Asia – Europe and Transpacific trades. “Drewry has received confirmation from multiple sources that this year's peak season began earlier than usual, which is supporting stronger demand and higher freight prices,” the analyst said in its weekly assessment. On the Transpacific trade the Shanghai – Los Angeles route reported a 31% increase week-on-week to $4,565 per feu. On the Asia – Europe trade Shanghai to Rotterdam saw a 25% jump in freight rates week-on-week to $3,579 per feu. The sharp upturn in freight rates could already be seen happening a week earlier with theShanghai Containerized Freight Index (SCFI)up 16% at 2571.73 points on 29 May. Fluctuations in rates on the SCFI and WCI often track around a week apart and we will update the SCFI index for 5 June when it is announced later in the day. Related:MSC confirms strike on MSC Sariska V, condemns unprovoked attacks On the Transpacific Drewry commented, “Carriers successfully implemented PSS on Transpacific eastbound trade route starting this month. With peak season now underway and seasonal demand strengthening through June.” On Asia – Europe lines have announced a slew of peak season surcharges (PSS) in recent weeks withCMA CGMrolling a $500 per teu on Asia – North Europe from 1 June, andMSCannounced a new base rate for Asia – North Europe of $3,900 per teu and $6,000 per feu from 15 June until further notice but not beyond 30 June. MeanwhileHapag-LloydandMaerskhave announced further PSS on the Asia–Europe trade route, effective 8 June and 10 June, ranging from $300–$500 per 20ft container and $600–$1,000 per 40ft container. Drewry said it expects further freight rate rises in coming weeks on both Asia – Europe and the Transpacific. In a report on AP Moller – Maersk issued on 4 June HSBC Global Investment Research commented, “Container shipping markets have entered an early peak season with momentum that looks set to persist through the peak season, as front loadings, port congestion, and liners capacity management tighten available capacity. The SCFI has surged for five consecutive weeks to its highest point since Sept 2024, as carriers successfully implemented 1 June GRI/FAK hikes and PSS.” The demand and supply balance is in carriers favour with very limited spare capacity in the market. In its 26 May weekly reportAlphalinersaid the idle fleet had stood at “historically low levels” over the previous two weeks. The idle fleet stood at just 0.6% of global fleet capacity of 31.4 million teu with just 59 ships idle with a combined capacity of 189,285 teu. Over the previous two weeks to the 26 May report lines brought 21 ships back into service with a capacity of 46,542 teu. Related:Inchcape Shipping Services makes US NVOCC leap Looking ahead Drewry said: “East–West container freight markets are strengthening as the peak season arrives earlier than usual this year. Continued Red Sea diversions are extending transit times and encouraging importers to place orders earlier to ensure cargo arrives ahead of the traditional peak season.” The increases in freight rates will be welcome news for lines such as Maersk, Hapag-Lloyd, andZimwhose container shipping businesses slipped into the red in Q1 2026.
