The innovation webinars are a series of eight webinars on topics addressed to professionals and managers related to advanced manufacturing technologies.

This year we have selected eight topics to open, from time to time, an in-depth discussion, among the experts in the sector who will participate in the meetings, on: Manufacturing system, Energy, Predictive maintenance, AI and Big Data, Cobotic, Cybersecurity, DC connections Grid and 5G; all declined within the framework of the current revolution of Industry 4.0.

Within each seminar, a key-note speaker will provide an overview about the state of the art on the specific technology, followed by the presentation of four case studies of SMEs / start-ups of the Italian and Chinese innovation ecosystem and a final Q&A session.

All the webinars will be video recorded and made publicly available.

The Innovation webinars will be held in the period of June – July 2020.

All the contents will be in English.
