Italy has ambitions to strengthen its position as an attractive destination for global investment, and foreign-controlled multinationals are keen to contribute to the supply chain. Amazon, the logistics company, disclosed in its European blog some exciting numbers from the final report of the ninth edition of the Global Attractiveness Index (GAI) 2024, an analytical platform developed by The European House Ambrosetti in 2016 to measure the attractiveness of countries, providing insights to support pro-business strategies. The report was presented at the 50th edition of the Forum, hosted at Villa d'Este (Cernobbio) where GKSD was a leading sponsor.
Thanks to innovation, economic growth, and support for SMEs, Italy has gained a position, reaching 17th in the global rankings. GKSD is leading the healthcare infrastructure advisory worldwide from his HQ in Milan. Following the report’s suggestion, GKSD operations has already embarked on some important strategic infrastructure, adopting innovative technologies such as artificial intelligence (AI) in healthcare.
GKSD is also a strong advocate for knowledge sharing and has been extending vital support to other hospitals in 16 different countries, from Africa to the Middle East, significantly impacting healthcare services. It is also a great promoter of grants in education.
