Who today should be in the vicinity of the Palazzo dei Congressi in Rome (Eur area) could, by chance, come across a strange van. A small laboratory on the move that has been traveling the world for months to show everyone its technological marvels. This is the "Mobile Lab" of Huawei, the Chinese multinational leader in Information and Communication Technology solutions which joined the Forum Pa event (from 28 to 30 May).
In this moving laboratory, Huawei keeps many of its prides: communication technologies (i.e. everything related to the use of smartphones), infrastructural products (data networking), data center technologies and some examples of the business that perhaps most identifies the group: videoconferencing and telepresence systems.
Huawei has joined the Forum Pa, as Roberto Loiola (vice president for Western Europe) explained, “because he deeply believes in technology at the service of citizens” and in the improvements that can derive from it in terms of sustainability, quality of life and savings.
Sergio Gianotti (sales and marketing manager) explained how Huawei cares a lot about the theme of "smart cities"; where for smart city - he said - "we mean a system that contains within itself three elements: information, transport networks and integrated platforms".
Stefano Parisi, president of Confindustria Digitale, also attended the meeting: “Our country has no public resources and is struggling to implement counter-cyclical operations, i.e. investments. These difficulties put us in the situation of having to find alternative solutions to our problems: like, in this case, partnerships with multinationals like Huawei". In Italy, the digital economy weighs half of what happens in other European countries on GDP. "The digital Agenda - continued Parisi - must become, for the Government, a priority like the Fiscal Compact" because the savings that would be obtained with the use of the solutions envisaged by the Agenda are as important as the rigor .
