Digital renaissance: what intelligence for recovery?

The event was held in Modena, in the prestigious setting of the Military Academy, on October 6, 2021 the event organized by Michele Bonfiglioli as President of the Professional Services Branch of Confindustria Emilia, in collaboration with 15 other territorial Confindustria associations from Lombardy, Veneto, Friuli Venezia Giulia, and Trentino-Alto Adige, which represent the beating heart of the Italian economy.

This event looks at the advent of new technologies from a different perspective, questioning what the real impacts on the economy and people's lives might be, recalling a historical parallel to imagine a period of new splendor for people and, why not, also for Italy, the cradle of the Renaissance.

The Renaissance in fact was the triumph of human intelligence and creativity, in reaction to the difficult centuries of the Middle Ages. Today, again, all of humanity is called upon to react to improve its condition, in a sustainable and forward-looking way. What technologies and intelligences will help us to do so ?
