3 p.m. Digital and sustainable innovation: the two paths for Alps evolution

At this time of great international concerns and after a pandemic that has created severe economic problems, it is necessary to think about the future scenarios of development of the Alps that will see undeniably a digital “acceleration” in the tourist offer and in the production, agricultural and social fields as well.

This digital push must be combined with sustainability and therefore investments and projects must be based mainly on innovability (sustainable innovation) supported by emerging digital technologies.

Finally, the arrival of PNRR and Olympic funds will certainly offer public administrations and companies the resources to innovate but the risk is that local mountain municipalities and smaller companies, if left alone, won’t be able to seize the opportunities of innovation.

4 p.m. At the top of smart workers choices

The Alps have a strong attraction for Italian and foreign smart workers, therefore this phenomenon will be an opportunity for growth, limiting depopulation and relaunching even the most remote territories by encouraging long stays and promoting bleisure (business leisure)  and deep tourism .

The opening of co-working/hu-working and incubators in the deindustrialized valleys, in addition to smart working, will also support the development of enterprises with the establishment of start-ups and SMEs specialising in the Alpine economy, able to offer worldwide services.
