Given these premises, a delegation representing Trentino, a region that has always been sensitive to innovation, including technology innovation, could not miss this opportunity. To promote the “Trentino system of innovation”, Confindustria Trento has organized a dedicated stand in which associates BlueTensor, Cosman, Dedagroup with its AI focused ORS, Delta Informatica, Gpi, HPA will participate. There will also be local organizations of reference, namely: the Digital Innovation Hub of Trentino-Alto Adige, Fondazione Bruno Kessler and Trentino Sviluppo.

More in detail, the WAICF 2023 (World Artifical Intelligence Cannes Festival), in addition to hosting almost 300 companies specialized in the development of AI-oriented technologies, also offers many training events and interactive workshops that investigate the most varied AI applications involving the production sectors: industry and robotics, human resources, gaming, sports, hospitality, just to name a few.

In other words, the goal is to establish a horizontal exchange that favors contact etween small and large organizations, so as to generate common knowledge and therefore give rise to winning development strategies. Roberto Busato, General Manager of Confindustria Trento, said: “We have organized this delegation as we believe that Artificial Intelligence is no longer a domain issue, but a priority element on which to plan the growth of companies, of any sector and size. Innovative by Nature, the slogan of our exhibition space – he stressed – responds to the belief that Trentino has a natural propensity to guard the frontiers of innovation in its DNA: it is therefore a duty for us to be here”.

Confindustria Trento’s participation in WAICF is part of the path that will culminate in the fall of 2023 with the presentation by the Association of the <strong>position paper “Società Trentino 5.0″</strong>: a series of proposals that put together an idea of territory where development, sustainability and digitalization fall within a single reference framework.
