Circle signs new contract with Italy port system worth €300,000

Circle S.p.A. (“CIRCLE” or the “Company”) announced the signing of a new contract as part of the ongoing activities to strengthen the interoperability and digital evolution of the port sector, with a total economic value of approximately €300,000 and a duration of about 12 months.

The new assignment is part of the initiatives already undertaken by CIRCLE Group, which include an important framework agreement for the adaptation of port services to the NIS2 Directive, a European regulation that significantly extends cybersecurity obligations for critical infrastructures, and various projects aimed at the evolution of Extended Port Community Systems, digital platforms for the integrated management of information flows in the logistics chain. Circle supports Italian ports and intermodal nodes by providing concrete solutions to face the challenges posed by regulations and the market: from the analysis of evolutionary and regulatory requirements to the consequent application evolution, from the real-time tracking of incoming and outgoing goods to the full interoperability between systems with public bodies and private companies. The aim is to enable a sustainable, secure and interoperable digital transformation, capable of generating operational efficiency, reducing time and strengthening the resilience of the logistics system.

‘With this additional assignment we confirm CIRCLE's role as a strategic enabler of digitization in ports, at a time when cybersecurity, interoperability and sustainability are becoming essential factors for the competitiveness and resilience of Italian logistics,’ said Luca Abatello, CEO of Circle Group. ‘We are pleased and proud to contribute in a concrete way to the industry's adaptation to the latest European standards and the operational needs of our customers, as envisaged in the “Connect 4 Agile Growth” business plan.’

With the extension of activities through this new contract, CIRCLE Group consolidates its role as a strategic partner in the digital transition of Mediterranean ports, in a context increasingly focused on cybersecurity, sustainability and federation of operational, customs and intermodal services.
