AEIT 2017 - 2017 AEIT INTERNATIONAL Annual Conference Infrastructures for Energy and ICT: Opportunities for Fostering Innovation

In recent years, we are seeing a growing synergy between the infrastructures for the production, transmission and distribution of electricity, telecommunications networks, and computing technologies that provide for the intelligence of the whole system. The ever-increasing dependence on electricity for carrying out daily activities, increasingly run by smart devices, and the need for an intelligent management of the power grid in the presence of a distributed generation from renewable sources, both are creating a tight interdependent system. Cloud computing, big data, large bandwidth interconnections support modern knowledge-based society paradigms. The AEIT 2017 conference will be an important opportunity to point out the challenges that our country needs to face in order to stimulate innovative entrepreneurial initiatives, and increase the country's competitiveness. The conference will host both technical and scientific contributions. It will showcase Italian and international research activities in the fields of electricity, automation, telecommunications and information technology, that form the solid foundation on which to build innovative actions. It will also be the venue for hosting panels and speeches from national and international stakeholders for discussing the strategies to increase the competitiveness of Italian companies, and lay the foundations for the creation of new initiatives. Cagliari will be the ideal setting for this debate, thanks to the presence of innovative companies, and one of the pilot cities for the laying of optical fiber as an enabling infrastructure.
