Referring to the situation one year ago, the contraction of the amount of enterprises has continued, but in a less intense way:
Treviso Province counts -547 active enterprises (-0,7% on the total), versus -699 last year
Belluno Province counts -119 active enterprises (-0,8% on the total), versus -207 last year
Three sectors present a negative countertrend:
Retail: Treviso shows a decrease of -171 enterprises (versus -120 companies last year); Belluno shows a decrease of -49 companies (versus -23 last year)
Building: decrease of -307 enterprises in Treviso (versus -240 last year) and -52 in Belluno (versus -86 last year), with a total of -359 enterprises, worse than what registered last year
(total of -326)
Craftsmanship: in large extent due to the contraction in the building sector. In Treviso the sector loses 347 companies (versus -198 last year). Belluno counts -66 artisan businesses (versus
-81 last year)
“The entrepreneurship propensity remains in a negative tendency. We have to ask ourselves on the crucial reasons for that, avoiding consoling ourselves behind the deceleration of the
phenomenon” – underlines the President of the Chamber of Commerce, Mario Pozza – “This crisis long wave is alarming, since it affects now also the retail sector. This refers to at
least three macro-themes: people incomes and consumption propensity; the re-immersion of the consumption experience in the urban areas and in the proximity dimension; the e-commerce development.
Referring to the decrease within the craftsmanship sector – the President stresses – we definitely must not put everyone into the same basket. Someone forced quick conclusions, saying
that we went back to 30 years ago. We tried to better analyze such data, and we have discovered two opposite tendencies. For sure, the decrease of the micro- artisan busines continues, that of free
lances or companies up to five employees.
Instead, the most structured artisan pattern (over six employees) withstands, also from the employment point of view. It is not a case – explains Pozza – that most part of the artisan
enterprises contraction (63%) refers to the building sector.
It is important to distinguish these two trajectories – concludes Pozza – otherwise we risk penalizing and humiliating all those, in the world near me, in these crisis years have
called into question and started relevant re-organization processes.
It is believed that such processes occur mainly in industrial contexts but instead, I can assure you, they happen also in the small enterprise. In addition, they are essential to maintain the
position in the valuable markets and in the most competitive supply chains.
