A celebratory event organized by InnovaPuglia to mark the 50th anniversary since the founding of C.S.A.T.A. (Center for Studies and Applications in Advanced Technologies) -an entity from which InnovaPuglia descends-is scheduled for today, Nov. 26, at 3 p.m. in Bari at the Villa Romanazzi Carducci Hotel.
The Center for Studies and Applications in Advanced Technologies is a nonprofit association established on Sept. 19, 1969, and is made up of public and private entities, whose founding members were the University of Bari, Bank of Italy, Nuovo Pignone and Formez; the ancestor of InnovaPuglia is thus celebrating 50 years of commitment as a center for research, technology transfer and training in information technology.
Speakers at the event will include Salvatore Latronico as President of the Distretto Produttivo dellInformatica Pugliese.
Also present will be Piero Cosoli, senior program manager of Openwork as well as past director of the Tecnopolis C.S.A.T.A. Technology & Systems Division.
The event will also be an opportunity for discussion and reflection on the state of the art of digitization in PA and future innovation projects for the evolution of IT services in the Apulian territory.
It should also be noted that the event is part of a program organized by Il Sole 24ore entitled 'Innovation day: the excellences of the territory " having the purpose of telling and sharing the models of innovation and sustainability that have made it possible to generate examples of territorial excellence.
The project includes 6 Italian stages: Milan, Bologna, Verona and Naples (events already held) and then closes with Bari in November and Rome in December.
