The delegation was assisted by the honorary Consul, Mr. Massimo Novali.   Cluj County is an innovative ecosystem supported by research and technological development activities, with strong integration between industry and training. There are over 1200 Italian companies active in manufacturing and construction, hotel, business consulting and freight.   The delegation met the Italian Community resident in Cluj and visited the Marelli offices and the De Longghi production plant.   The meeting with the Vice-President of the Cluj Regional Council, István Vákár, allowed the examination of possible collaborations in various fields, including infrastructure, medical and cultural. The ambassador stressed the need to increase the city's viability through the "City belt" project, which aims to build the bridge between DN1C and DJ 109D in the Tetarom III industrial park area, a major production facility where Italian companies are also active.   The meeting with Cluj Prefect István Szilárd Tasnádi focused mainly on the management of the pandemic and the collaboration between Italy and Romania in the emergency period.   The Italian delegation then traveled to the City Hall of Cluj-Napoca, for a meeting with mayor Emil Boc, who presented the city's strengths: the university, the young and highly qualified labor force, the focus on innovation, the particular focus of start-ups.   The Ambassador referred to the capacity of Italian companies to contribute to the sustainable development of the city in a variety of sectors, including technology, energy (especially from renewable sources) and waste treatment. In the presence of the mayor, the representatives of the City Hall and the Italian Community in Cluj, Mr. The ambassador then handed over the honorary consul of Italy, Massimo Novali, the distinction from the Cavaler of the order Steaua Italy awarded by the President of the Italian Republic.   The higher education sector was the subject of a step-by-step in-depth study at Babes-Bolyai University (UBB) and at the University of Agricultural Sciences and Veterinary Medicine (USAMV), two of the main universities in Romania. The Ambassador met the rectors, Professor Daniel David and Cornel C?toi.   During the meeting at Babes-Bolyai University (UBB), possibilities for extending cooperation networks with Italian universities and opportunities for connecting with Italian companies operating on Romanian territory were explored. At the University of Agricultural Sciences and Veterinary Medicine (USAMV), the analogueies between the Romanian and Italian positions in agri-food and zootechnical research and on the development of European policies on nutrition and sustainable agriculture were highlighted.   The meeting with the Greek Catholic Bishop of Cluj-Gherla, Claudiu Lucian Pop, was an occasion for a broad discussion on the work of the Greek Catholic Church in Cluj and Transylvania and on the main social and assistance emergencies in the region.   At the end of the mission, the Italian delegation visited Marelli's headquarters in Cluj, where the company designs and tests mecatronic and car software systems, with the contribution of about 300 employees who are watching projects from Cluj around the world. Embassy representatives then visited Jucu, where the DeLonghi production plant is located. The company, with 3.700 employees in Romania, has doubled its production over the past two years and is about to open its third plant in Satu Mare. Always attentive to the well-being of its employees, DeLonghi has also successfully undone an internal vaccination campaign for the benefit of its staff.
