Confindustria Innovation Hub Launches the AI Roadshow for SMEs: Innovation, Opportunities and Growth

Confindustria Innovation Hub’s Roadshow kicks off in the autumn thanks to the collaboration with local Digital Innovation Hubs: a series of workshops designed to explore how Artificial Intelligence is transforming the business landscape for SMEs.

Artificial Intelligence is no longer a theoretical concept: today it is redefining production processes, business models and entire supply chains. To guide Italian companies through this transformation, Confindustria Innovation Hub, together with the local Digital Innovation Hubs, is launching the AI Roadshow, a cycle of workshops aimed at showcasing concrete opportunities, success stories and practical tools.
The first stop will take place on October 24 in Reggio Emilia, hosted by Officine Credem, followed by events in Lombardy, Piedmont, Apulia, Campania, Veneto, Sicily and Lazio. Each meeting, lasting about three and a half hours, will offer a structured path through regulations, practical tools and first-hand insights from the territory.

The programme: from the AI Act to business experiences, ConfIN Hub supporting digital transformation

  • AI Act – An analysis of the new European regulation and its impact on the Italian business ecosystem.
  • Real use cases – Presentation of experiences collected in Confindustria’s Report on AI applications in SMEs.
  • ConfIN Hub – Confindustria’s Digital Innovation Hub illustrates concrete tools to measure companies’ digital maturity and digital resilience, along with “Data Readiness Towards AI,” the new tool for assessing a company’s ability to produce, collect, manage and leverage data in preparation for AI implementation.
  • Business testimonials – Local entrepreneurs share how they successfully introduced AI solutions into their production processes.
  • AI Factory – The large-scale project coordinated by Cineca that leverages the power of the Leonardo supercomputer to offer labs, projects and platforms supporting AI adoption in companies.
  • Interactive Q&A – A discussion to clarify questions and explore topics and strategies in depth.

Why you should attend
The Roadshow is a valuable opportunity for entrepreneurs and managers who want to understand how to make AI a competitive asset. Not just theory, but concrete tools and direct testimonials showing how AI adoption can bring benefits in terms of efficiency, productivity, cost reduction and access to new markets.
Participation is free, but spots are limited.
