This new shock, after the inflationary shock caused by the attack on Ukraine, in addition to triggering a humanitarian cause, risks creating political extremism and new waves of migration towards Europe. It obviously adds to the short-sighted suspension of the dismantling of Usaid
Delivery is too expensive for those who practice it. Gorillas has been taken over and Getir has left Italy: three operators remain, with very high costs in relation to turnover. The role of dark kitchens that industrialise catering but worsen the quality of food. Western market in the hands of 4 main players
Joybuy can rely on the company’s own logistics, which include several warehouses in the UK, France, Germany, Belgium, the Netherlands and Luxembourg… This facilitates same-day delivery to a limited number of regions within these countries, where orders placed before 11am will arrive by 11pm…

Nutraceuticals and cosmetics certainly have it easier because they have more sophisticated channels. Retail is struggling because it is more conservative and until now had not felt the need to personalise its service and offers
What will we read about in your new book? ‘I tell another side of the family through two extraordinary explorers: my eponymous ancestor Giuseppe Caprotti, who lived thirty years in Yemen, and my great uncle Gianni Albertini, a skier and mountaineer who explored the North Pole’.

My speech will also start from some of my experiences at Esselunga, where for many years I worked on the development of projects that accompanied an important phase in the evolution of Italian distribution: the Superstores, the Fìdaty card, Esselunga at Home, the ESD purchasing centre, the development of organic products, together with the introduction of the company’s first social report. The aim, of course, is not to look back. Those experiences serve above all as a starting point to reflect on how distribution, the role of retailer brands and the relationship between industry and retail are changing today.
McKinsey estimates that retailers with autonomous AI systems are growing 50 per cent faster than competitors. Cognizant projects $4.4 trillion in additional spending over the next five years from customers embracing AI.

Italy’s publicly controlled companies that transport or distribute gas and electricity to citizens and businesses are more profitable than some of the world’s largest, most technologically advanced and important companies in the business of the future: cloud, data centres and artificial intelligence.
