“This crisis cannot be overcome with isolated adverts and actions; it needs an overarching vision with fully open IoT platforms that can engage vertical solutions and pool different data sources. This is what AlmavivA offers,” said Fulvio Conti, Head of Market Application Services Practice and Innovations, during the Conference to present results of the research project organized by the Observatory of the School of Management of Politecnico di Milano, in collaboration with AlmavivA.

Italian agri-food businesses are now fully embracing digital technologies, given the need to improve production processes on the one hand – 52% of companies say it is one of their three main needs – and logistics operations, traceability and batch management on the other.

In this context, AlmavivA can present use cases of true excellence, which aim to develop agriculture as a driving force to promote territories within an overall strategic plan. This is accompanied by a strong focus on the needs of consumers, who increasingly demand high quality, environmental sustainability and support for local economies – in addition to flavor and value for money.

Conti adds: “We need to create ecosystems and new alliances between technologies and application domains; we need to create bridges between the worlds of digital culture and traditional rural culture.”
