Sixth stop in Imola for Innovation Days 2025: from AI to Green Energy, the future has already begun

Innovation Days 2025 arrives in Emilia-Romagna with the event scheduled for Thursday, November 6, at the “Enzo e Dino Ferrari” Racetrack in Imola, from 10:00 a.m. to 1:00 p.m.
The roadshow, promoted by Confindustria and Il Sole 24 Ore, brings together businesses, institutions, and the research community to explore the challenges and opportunities of the digital and green transitions.
A day of discussion, insights, and networking — organized in collaboration with Sistemi Formativi Confindustria and supported by 4.Manager — will focus on how companies can integrate advanced technologies, energy efficiency, and sustainability to enhance their competitiveness.
ConfIN Hub Focus: Unlocking the Digital Potential of Businesses
A key feature of the Emilia-Romagna stage will be Confindustria Innovation Hub (ConfIN Hub), the National Digital Innovation Center of Confindustria, which supports companies in their technological and sustainable transformation journeys.
Four advanced services are offered to businesses — with up to 100% cost coverage through PNRR funds:
Digital maturity assessment
Cybersecurity evaluation in compliance with the NIS 2 Directive
Support for digital alignment of the supply chain
Data management capability assessment
These opportunities will be presented in detail by Andrea Chiesi, President of CERR and DIH Emilia-Romagna, Board Member and Head of Special Projects at Chiesi Group.
Digitalization is today a strategic lever for the competitiveness and resilience of the production system. Confindustria Innovation Hub provides concrete tools to help companies translate innovation into sustainable growth and measurable results.

Fabio Tamburini, Director of Il Sole 24 Ore
Alessandro Curti, President of Confindustria Emilia – Imola Delegation
