Turin takes a new important step towards the realization of its dream, to become the Italian capital of innovation. Our capital was in fact chosen to host theI3A, the Italian Institute of Artificial Intelligence, a real network which will aim to coordinate the various research activities in this sector and will be one of the main points of the strategy defined by Ministry of Economic Development.
The project is decidedly ambitious given that it will be able to count on a staff of about 1,000 people and on an annual budget of 80 million euros: the Turin center will be a central hub that will work in close collaboration with national research centers and universities. The government wants to focus on the strength of technology transfer in order to exploit the momentum that applied research is having in the city, for example, to robotics, mobility, energy, 5G connectivity and industry 4.0.
We are becoming an increasingly smart city thanks to the birth of a innovation ecosystem encouraged by various interventions by the municipal administration in recent years and by the will of numerous players in the area to invest ingenuity, time and money in bringing Turin into the future.
At the same time as this news it was also made official that it will be based in Milan the new Unified Patent Court: the common goal of these two choices is to "create a synergy between the two cities and the Government and, at the same time, consolidate the north-west axis of the country: a strategy that would make Milan and Turin even stronger and , with them, Italy ". Finally a nice boost for a further look forward that hopefully will help to overcome the usual parochialism existing between the two cities.
