The region has a long history of innovation, boosting cooperation between SMEs, large companies and research organizations to share knowledge and make innovative products and services; Piemonte is the 1st Italian region in terms of private investment in R&D and the 3rd for hi-tech patents.
Piemonte is at the heart of smart city innovation, hosting ‘Smart Communities Tech’, the national cluster, managed by Torino Wileress Foundation, leading the development of the smart city strategy at national level.
According to the ICityrank 2019, the capital city, Torino, is the fifth among the top Italian smart cities; though the initiative ‘Torino City Lab’, the City is a laboratory for smart city solutions, providing a system of physical, technological infrastructures, relations and know-how to experiment and then scale up the proposed innovations: here companies can co-develop and test their new products and solutions, thanks to 5G connectivity, IoT, collaborative robotics, and Artificial Intelligence.
Some of the smart city fields in which Piemonte can offer innovative solutions are:
