The IT sector in Puglia is no longer a gamble, but is now a constantly growing . A well-connected productive fabric that employs thousands of people, with a turnover of over 400 million euros and 6% annual growth. (Assintel Report 2019)
"Today more than ever we can say that Puglia is attractive not only for tourism , food, aerospace, and mechatronics, but also, and above all, for ICT , " says Stefano D'Ascoli , vice president of the tertiary section of Confindustria Bari and BAT.
"The ICT companies in our region are characterized not only by their size but, above all, by their organization and mindset. There are few large and medium-sized companies, but many SMEs, some of which are structured like large companies. In addition to the well-known large and medium-sized companies [...] there are structured SMEs that represent local excellence with an international presence." This is the case of innovative that are leaders in their sectors in Italy, such as Openwork , Eusoft, Ethica System , ApuliaSoft , Grifo , to name a few.
An ICT network that is further strengthened today, thanks to a new approach to cohesion among companies aimed at creating a collaborative network across the region. This network is strongly promoted by Confindustria Bari-Bat together with the Apulian IT Productive District , also allied on the important issue of human capital and specialized resources, the true differentiator for our region, which unfortunately remains numerically insufficient today.
