On Thursday, April 20 2017, Engr. Marco Guardigli, the President of our consortium, is going to present the W3Make.it project at the “Open laboratory for the city that we want” meeting, at Palazzo Rasponi dalle Teste in Ravenna.

It is an important meeting with the engineers of the Emilia-Romagna Region and analysts from the Ernst & Young company, during which the technical level of the City of Ravenna will be analyzed and compared to the Smart City Index. It is going to be a chance to learn more about the situation of our territory in comparison to national and regional trends and to share the experiences of different realities, as well as draw inspiration for the implementation of new services.

W3Make.it will be part of the “SMART Projects in Ravenna” section, during which some realities of Ravenna that have invested their resources to make the city and its services more and more smart, will talk about their projects and future goals.

Main theme of the event will be the Open Laboratory of Ravenna, a workshop of ideas and cultural centre located in the MAR, the Art Museum of the city of Ravenna, which will have as its main purpose to design services for the enhancement and better integration between the cultural and tourist attractions of our city.

“In line with the objectives of European funds, the idea of open laboratories takes shape. Areas equipped with advanced ICT solutions to make our citizens and businesses digitally literate, to trigger processes of participation on the strategic choices of the city. With these resources, we can gives substance to the realization of fundamental tools to induce the smart, sustainable and inclusive growth of the Emilia-Romagna region and its cities. ”
