    Testimonials

    • The experience of the first Canada-Italy Business Forum on Artificial Intelligence 2019 was highly formative and qualifying for our company, both in terms of professional exchange and of the concrete possibility to acquire new contacts and possible commercial interactions with actors of the new digital economy, in particular, that linked in the world of AI. Altera Fabrica was present as a digital start-up looking for possible partners for its "addplus.it" platform, dedicated to the simplified management of documents and digital editing content for professionals and SMEs. A web service that in Italy begins to obtain the first validations (Unioncamere special mention at the top of the 2019 PID national competition) and which in 2020 will begin its step of integration with artificial intelligence tools to increase the effectiveness of document recognition in cataloging automated and digital traceability. An activity coming from the enrichment of the knowledge and awareness acquired and gained also thanks to the Canadian Forum very well organized by the CCIC of Montreal.

    • The first edition was in one word “amazing”. A solid first edition displaying the knowledge, creativity, resourcefulness and warmth of the Italian chamber members. Grazie Mille!

    • Credo che il Québec sia uno dei migliori esempi, a livello mondiale, di come, investendo sulle persone, sulle capacità e sui talenti sia possibile riposizionarsi diventando leader a livello planaterio. Ancora oggi è necessario investire sulle persone, con risultati anche nel breve periodo. Noi abbiamo ritenuto che ancora una volta fosse necessario posizionare l’Emilia Romagna e Bologna al centro di un grande processo di trasformazione, non solo economico, ma anche sociale.
