“MOST is a great opportunity that the NRRP has provided to the national system. The challenge is to build research infrastructures that last over time, in which companies, the scientific world, and public administration can serve as the driving force behind the digital transformation and energy transition that the transportation sector is about to experience,” explains Dario Ferrillo, Chief Innovation Office fir Almaviva.
“Distributed research infrastructures also provide a development opportunity for the territories in which SMEs and startups will be called upon to make an innovative contribution.
Almaviva supports this initiative by committing resources with domain and technological expertise, making innovative digital platforms and its own laboratories available, with the awareness that this is an important step towards a new way of innovating.”
