To the roundtable also partecipated the President of LuxReal, Vincent Bechet, the Technical Director of Cimolai SpA, Pierpaolo Rossetto and the Managing Director of Rizzani de Eccher Lussemburgo S.A., Ascanio Martinotti.
“In Italy we have many entrepreneurs and experts in the construction supply chain who – taking advantage of the new trends in the sector and the opportunities offered by technological innovation – have had the courage and the ability to reinvent themselves and to restart” – underlined Angelica Donati – “We need to create synergies between the actors of the construction supply chain, and with the connected supply chains. It is a decisive element to respond to the challenges of a rapidly changing world. On a theme such as the development of Smart Cities, also in Italy, it is necessary to involve all operators in technological innovation in the sector, developing business opportunities and building strategies to drive change”.
