The meeting is introduced by Zenone Sovilla, journalist of the newspaper L'Adige.
Can the type of current crisis that has hit the global economy, with its repercussions in Europe and in our country—one of which being high unemployment—also present an opportunity? Is it time to critically ask ourselves again, "what should we produce"? The much-cited solar panel or the long-desired electric car represent only the tip of the iceberg of new potential commercial opportunities and the expansion of research and technological innovation. Some European countries, such as Germany and Spain, are investing heavily in the industry linked to so-called renewable energies, with excellent results. Italy too would have good potential, but it needs to make precise choices.
