Gallura Blue Hub: where boating builds the future

Gallura today represents one of the most dynamic areas in the Mediterranean for the development of boating and activities linked to the maritime economy. Thanks to the presence of modern infrastructure, specialized expertise, and a territory-oriented innovation system, the Olbia area stands out as a strategic hub for industrial, logistical, and technological investments in the boating sector.

The Olbia production district, managed by CIPNES Gallura, forms the core of this economic ecosystem. It is an industrial area covering approximately 750 hectares, hosting hundreds of companies operating across various production sectors and contributing to the competitiveness and growth of the territory. The Consortium’s objective is to strengthen industrial attractiveness and create favorable conditions for the sustainable and innovative development of businesses. Within this context, boating represents one of the most promising sectors.

Gallura’s geographical position, at the center of the main Mediterranean tourist routes, enables the development of activities related to shipbuilding, refitting, and vessel maintenance, as well as advanced services for recreational boating. The area also offers opportunities for technology companies engaged in the development of digital solutions, sustainable energy systems, and port management platforms.

The Consortium acts as an investment facilitator, promoting a competitive business environment oriented toward internationalization. Its priorities include the creation of facilities dedicated to innovation and the digitalization of SMEs, as well as the promotion of professional training and the development of technical skills required by the boating sector.

A key element in attracting investment is the presence of national support instruments. Through the Invest in Italy system, investors can access support services including sector analysis, identification of public incentives, and assistance in selecting the most suitable production areas for their business projects.

The Gallura territory also stands out for its strong integration between industry, tourism, and services, creating an economic model capable of generating value across the entire boating supply chain. This approach fosters collaboration between companies, research centers, and local institutions, strengthening the system’s competitiveness.

Investing in boating in Gallura therefore means entering a structured and constantly evolving production system, capable of combining manufacturing excellence, technological innovation, and environmental sustainability. The role of CIPNES as a Territorial Agency ensures operational support and strategic vision, offering investors a favorable environment for the development of internationally competitive industrial projects.
