FBK Newsletter – July 2024: Innovation and Success stories

This month, Fondazione Bruno Kessler (FBK) celebrates two extraordinary success stories and highlights important contributions in the field of artificial intelligence (AI). Elena Crespi, a researcher at FBK’s Center for Sustainable Energy, has been included among Forbes Italia’s 100 Most Successful Women, an accolade that celebrates her significant impact on Italy’s growth. Another accolade is AgrifoodTEF, selected among the Digital Success Stories by the European Commission for its innovative contribution to the development of service infrastructures in agrifood.

Furthermore, the experiment with Anffas Trentino represents a crucial step forward in the use of AI to improve care services. This project aims to increase interaction and options for users of Anffas centers by exploiting new technologies.
