Keeping these two aspects together and ensuring that they are coordinated becomes an increasingly challenging objective for us," explains Massimiliano Garri, Chief Technology, Innovation & Digital Officer of the FS Group – thanks to the creation of the Sagitta Consortium, in collaboration with a leading partner in Information & Communication Technology such as Almaviva, we have the opportunity to make the union of these two aspects effective, focusing on the activation of digital platforms that are able to concretely improve the movement of people and goods, with a view to increasingly integrated and sustainable mobility.”
"Aware of the value of Made in Italy technology and its global competitiveness, we are proudly launching a new shared challenge with an international champion of sustainable mobility, such as the FS Group. We are thus strengthening a ten-year collaboration that, with the establishment of the Sagitta Consortium, takes on a new form to address a global market full of opportunities to which we can propose unique, advanced and distinctive solutions, such as those offered by our Moova platform, already active on foreign markets in technologically advanced contexts - comments Marco Tripi, CEO of Almaviva – Sagitta aims to export an Italian proposal of excellence, aligned with the evolution of interoperability at a European level”.
Sagitta will allow the FS Group to consolidate its role in exporting the excellence of Made in Italy abroad in the transport sector, to accelerate the development of digital platforms that can promote more efficient, effective and sustainable ways of transporting people and goods for the benefit of the community.
