What Green Transition Hub does

Green Transition Hub is a university research center within LIUC Università Cattaneo (Università Carlo Cattaneo - LIUC), a private Italian university headquartered in Castellanza, Lombardy, and was established in 2022. The hub operates as a knowledge aggregation center for ecological transition, sustainable logistics, and circular economy, bringing together professors, researchers, and PhD students to conduct training, applied research, and dissemination activities for students, managers, and partner organizations. Its offerings are organized around three pillars — Training, Research, and Dissemination — delivered through LIUC degree programs, LIUC Business School corporate training, events, conferences, workshops, and webinars.

The hub's research portfolio comprises seven named projects covering sustainable logistics, circular measurement, overpackaging monitoring, ESG observatories in logistics and road transport, and survey-based green logistics data collection. Core collaborations include Fedespedi, Freight Leaders Council, SCS, and Coripet, which provide sector expertise and dissemination channels in freight, logistics, and PET recycling. There is no proprietary technology platform; outputs are research deliverables, observatories, and toolkits rather than software products.

The entity does not operate on a commercial revenue model. It is classified as a nonprofit organization (VAT/codice fiscale 02015300128) and is funded through LIUC institutional channels and research grants. Headcount is approximately five people, and there are no external funding rounds, M&A activity, or disclosed financials. As an "Institutional Center" under LIUC's Research and Knowledge Enhancement division, the hub functions as a programmatic unit of the university rather than an independent commercial venture.
