Together, we can be the change. Today, on #25November, the International Day for the Elimination of Violence Against Women, we stand together to raise awareness about a heartbreaking reality: in Italy, a woman is killed every three days due to gender-based violence, and globally, 1 in 3 women experiences physical or sexual violence in her lifetime (UN data). At #SIT, we’ve distributed handcrafted red leather bracelets to our team as a #symbolofunity against this injustice. Created by Cartiera using reclaimed materials, these bracelets remind us of the strength of collective action. Ending #violence starts with each of us—promoting #genderequality, respect, and inclusion in every action we take. Again, Together, we can be the change.

Produttività oppure felicità? Entrambe, a patto che la prima sia semplicemente il mezzo per garantiris la seconda. A tal riguardo, ecco un passo interessante dal libro "Homo Deus" di Harari: “In the twentieth century per capita GDP was perhaps the supreme yardstick for evaluating national success. From this perspective, Singapore, each of whose citizens produces on average $56,000 worth of goods and services a year, is a more successful country than Costa Rica, whose citizens produce only $14,000 a year. But nowadays thinkers, politicians and even economists are calling to supplement or even replace GDP with GDH – gross domestic happiness. After all, what do people want? They don’t want to produce. They want to be happy. Production is important because it provides the material basis for happiness. But it is only the means, not the end. In one survey after another Costa Ricans report far higher levels of life satisfaction than Singaporeans. Would you rather be a highly productive but dissatisfied Singaporean, or a less productive but satisfied Costa Rican?”

Scenario 1: Climate Change is a Hoax vs. Scenario 2: Climate Change is Real - Comparative Analysis (created with AI ChatGPT): a) Economic Outcomes: - In the hoax scenario, short-term economic benefits for certain industries might occur, but long-term sustainability is questionable. - In the real scenario, the initial economic impact may be challenging, but long-term benefits include a more sustainable and resilient economy. b) Environmental Outcomes: - The hoax scenario risks continued environmental degradation and potential unpreparedness for actual climate impacts. - The real scenario aims to mitigate and adapt to climate impacts, potentially preserving ecosystems and reducing future risks. c) Public Health and Safety: - The hoax scenario might overlook the health benefits of reducing pollution and other environmental improvements. - The real scenario likely leads to better public health outcomes through cleaner air, water, and more resilient infrastructure. d) Global Stability: - The hoax scenario might lead to less global cooperation on environmental issues, potentially causing friction. - The real scenario could foster global collaboration and shared responsibility in addressing a common threat. In summary, the consequences of treating climate change as a hoax versus acknowledging it as real have profound implications across economic, environmental, social, and political dimensions. The real scenario emphasizes proactive measures to ensure long-term sustainability and resilience, while the hoax scenario may prioritize short-term gains with potential long-term risks.

Do you know what the helix model is? If you ask ChatGPT it tells you the following: The helix model is a concept used in various fields to describe processes or phenomena that evolve in a spiral or helical pattern, emphasizing continuous, cyclical development rather than a linear progression. There are a few notable applications of the helix model in different disciplines but the next one is how italy is intending to deploy a virtuous developing schema to enhance rapidly the Italian manufacturing capability: 1. **Triple Helix Model** (Innovation and University-Industry-Government Relations): - This model describes the interaction and collaboration among universities, industries, and governments to drive innovation and economic development. - The university provides research and education, industry focuses on production and market application, and the government creates policies and regulations to support and guide the innovation process. - The Triple Helix Model emphasizes the dynamic and recursive nature of these interactions, leading to the continuous development and adaptation of knowledge and technology. In general, the helix model in various contexts highlights the importance of ongoing, iterative processes and the interdependence of different components in driving development and evolution. If you read this book you will understand how powerful this method could be and as President of AFIL I wish we will be the bench mark for Europe to drive innovation as Italians together with research centers , industries and government .

🌿 Misleading "Climate Neutral" Advertising: German Federal Court's Landmark Ruling On June 27, 2024, the German Federal Court of Justice ruled (I ZR 98/23) that labeling products as "climate neutral" is impermissible due to its ambiguity and potential to deceive consumers. This decision is a vital step in combating "greenwashing" and aligns with the recent EU Parliament directive proposal (COM/2022/143 final) to ensure transparency and truthfulness in environmental advertising. #Sustainability #Greenwashing #ClimateNeutral #ConsumerProtection #EURegulations

The Italian path for National Technological Clusters has in many cases not been a smooth one so far. CSM - dID is founder of Cluster SMILE - Smart Living Technologies and was also a founder of Cluster Tecnologico Nazionale "Made in Italy" , then deciding to leave after some years of struggling. We are now back thanks to the call of the nominated president Matteo Tonon and Cluster Legno Arredo Casa FVG with Carlo Piemonte. Glad to be here again with the only aim of supporting a key national ecosystem to boost and act for our companies' competitiveness in the EU context. The cluster management approach mixed with expertise and research competences is crucial for deploying a sustainable action on the 3 areas of innovation, internationalization and training.

This is an interesting topic. So I wanted to share with my network. It is more a matter of opinions. Generic opinions, not only for passionate but people, normal people. What do you think about it? Do you really miss (or are you going to miss) this?? #electricvehicles #futuremobility #environment #sustainability #forabettertomorrow

The challenges of the manufacturing sector are multidimensional and require collaboration between industry, research centers, universities, and institutions. Tullio Tolio, President of the Scientific Committee of Afil, highlighted this need during the Afil General Assembly, stressing that no actor alone can face these challenges. Each stakeholder contributes unique skills and resources which, when combined, generate greater impact and more effective solutions. Afil’s mission is to create a regional innovation ecosystem, aligning company needs with regional industrial policies to support Lombardy's competitiveness. Strategic Communities gather companies, universities, and research centers to jointly develop projects in areas like circular economy, advanced polymers, additive manufacturing, and intelligent components. Afil collaborates with Regione Lombardia and participates in European networks to promote digital transformation and sustainability. Christian Colombo, Afil President and CEO of Ficep, emphasizes Afil’s strategic role in enhancing competitiveness and developing strategic AI roadmaps for the sector’s growth.
