Last Thursday, I attended the IComo: La Fabbrica delle Idee (the factory of ideas) meeting in Villa Olmo, an event organized by the Centro Volta and the Chamber of Commerce of Como and presented as a matching of technology innovation aimed at the local small and medium enterprises who want to innovate exploiting new ideas to be able to remain competitive on their markets.
The subjects of the presentations ranged from robotics and automation to new manufacturing techniques such as MIM (Metal Injection Moulding), but included also a very interesting presentation about RFID technology by a HP representative as well as a brief overview of the future of information technology by Intel which of course included mobile devices.
For me the relationship with the Centro Volta is already generating positive results. We’re starting a project committed by a small artigianal enterprise who was searching for a partner to take care of the realization of their innovative idea from both the hardware and software side.
It looks very stimulating, but at the same time we recently completed the doability study for the project I submitted them some months ago and it appears we’ve already found the right contacts to actually make it real, something that appeared a bit difficult to me at first.
Looks like I’m building a pretty busy schedule for the next months, but that’s what I really wanted when I first got in touch with the staff of the Centro Volta, so I can’t complain at all!
