Thanks to his role and commitment in shaping a modern and sustainable logistics sector—capable of meeting the needs of both logistics operators and communities —Sandro Innocenti, Senior Vice President and Regional Head Southern Europe at Prologis, has recently been awarded the prestigious Pentola d’Oro by Quotidiano Immobiliare. This annual award, presented for the past thirty years, recognizes a prominent figure in the industry who has distinguished themselves through professional achievements and human qualities.

Prologis Europe has reached a remarkable milestone, raising over €1 million in support of the Stelvio for Life Foundation through its decade of participation in the Stelvio for Life Challenge.

Italian excellence in agri-food enjoys international renown. Until now, however, the country has suffered from a lack of large-scale logistics platforms, capable of improving the distribution of fresh produce and further enhancing the value chain in Italy and abroad.

Prologis' Research team releases a new paper, “Persistent Disruption”, which explores the shift logistics customers are making from "just in time" to "just in case" – or a permanent shift toward resilience. This shift will create powerful demand tailwinds in logistics real estate and could prolong or worsen the current shortage of space.

Barriers to logistics real estate supply are significant and rising. Over the next decade, completions are expected to fall short of demand in most locations within Europe. The latest Prologis Research identifies significant geographic, economic and political barriers to new supply.

The global pandemic has forever altered the logistics real estate landscape: supply chain decisions have become more holistic, more data-driven and more urgent than ever. Underlying this shift are the same forces -- urbanization, digitalization and demographics -- that have changed the way we live, work and shop.
