The event, tailored for the EIT Digital partnership, but with sessions opened to a broader public, was attended by over 160 people, half of which representing industry and potential users of innovation solutions created within the EIT Digital network in 2015.

The public session was opened by Prof. Giovanni Colombo, former member of the EIT Executive Committee, with a keynote speech on opportunities and challenges of digital innovation.  His presentation was followed by the speech of Sara Ferrari, Regional minister for university and research, who highlighted the objectives of the Province of Trento in area of digital innovation.
