70% of the country's supercomputing capacity is concentrated in Emilia-Romagna. Only on big data we have a network of 1,800 engineers, 230 foreign researchers on a permanent basis and 60 training courses. The future of manufacturing, science and medicine is based on the ability to handle huge amounts of data. We do not have to invent anything. We already have everything, it's just a matter of putting it into a system ».
