contributions, food for thought or opinions on articles to be published. And it does so thanks to the commitment of the many experts in the vertical transport sector who are on board, each with their own specialisations, great experience and professionalism developed over many years of work and study in the sector.

We are very pleased to announce that, starting from this issue, the Technical Committee will be enriched by four very valuable figures coming both from the world of companies and associations, and from the academic and university world: Angelo Fumagalli, Alessandro Greco, Raffaella Lione and Fabio Minutoli.
