At the beginning of 2022, PortaleGenio<\/strong> took shape\u2014a project born from a shared reflection with Engineer Eugenio Muzio on the state of intermodality in Europe and Italy. More than a decade after the publication of the European Union\u2019s White Paper on Transport, the goals set for 2030 and 2050 still seem far off: the share of rail and combined transport remains well below expectations.<\/p>\n

This awareness sparked the idea of creating a tool capable of bringing companies closer to intermodal logic, simplifying both understanding and adoption. PortaleGenio<\/strong> is now an innovative digital platform designed to visualize and analyze the entire freight transport ecosystem\u2014terminals, ports, ro-ro lines, TEN-T corridors\u2014and to provide practical tools for operators, businesses, and logistics professionals.<\/p>\n

A project that blends technology, knowledge, and sustainability, positioning itself as a reference point for those who believe the future of logistics inevitably passes through intermodality.
We discussed it with Stefano Ronca<\/strong>, Business Development Manager of PortaleGenio.<\/p>\n

When and why was PortaleGenio born?<\/strong>
Ronca<\/strong>: The project started in January 2022, from a conversation with Engineer Eugenio Muzio about how far the European Union\u2019s targets for 2030 and 2050 still were, especially in terms of intermodal system usage in Europe and Italy. That\u2019s when the idea emerged to create a tool that could support companies in the transition toward intermodality.<\/p>\n

Your platform aims to spark attention and curiosity about intermodal transport in a simple, original, and intuitive way. How does it work, practically?<\/strong>
Ronca<\/strong>: You see, intermodality can seem complex to those approaching this segment for the first time. Terminals, rail connections, ports, ro-ro lines, TEN-T corridors\u2026 it’s an intricate ecosystem. Our intuition was simple: visualizing these core components greatly facilitates operational understanding. But we didn\u2019t stop at beginners. This new representation\u2014along with the simulations and analyses it enables\u2014is also useful for seasoned professionals in the sector. These are people who daily need to optimize routes, assess alternatives, and seek partners. Having everything in one place, in a single platform, radically changes the way they work.<\/p>\n

What services do you offer?<\/strong>
Ronca<\/strong>: PortaleGenio is the only platform where you can find, in one digital ecosystem:<\/p>\n
