Emilia-Romagna region is the home of Automotive industry sports cars like Ferrari, Lamborghini, Maserati, Pagani and motorcycles Ducati.
Emilia-Romagna is considered one of the richest European regions by gross domestic product (GDP) per capita today. These results have been achieved by developing a well-balanced economy comprising Italy’s biggest agricultural sector, a long-standing tradition in automobile, motor and mechanics manufacturing, and a strong banking and insurance industry.
The Italian aeronautical industry ranks fourth in Europe and seventh in the world in terms of size, with leadership positions in civilian helicopters, regional aircraft, and propulsion. The technological skills and know-how of Italian aerospace companies, together with increasingly advanced technological knowledge in production processes, have become growth factors for Italy in the sector. In Italy, there is excellence in the aerospace sector. Italy also has numerous small and medium-sized enterprises (SMEs) specialized in various segments of aerospace and aviation. These SMEs often form clusters, i.e., geographically concentrated areas where companies, research institutes, and other organizations collaborate and support each other. Research institutes further support Italy’s strong presence in the aerospace and aeronautical sector. The Italian Space Agency (ASI) is crucial in space research and development. It collaborates with international partners on missions and projects, including the European Space Agency (ESA).

Occitanie Innov, la journée dédiée à l’innovation
Le programme Occitanie Innov permet aux PME et PMI d’échanger avec des entreprises innovantes et des experts de l’innovation et de participer à un programme de conférences et d’ateliers.
L’offre d’accompagnement proposée par les membres du RésO Innovation sera présentée lors de pitchs inspirants et vous pourrez assister à une conférence Keynote de Gabrielle Halpern, Docteur en philosophie, diplômée de l’École Normale Supérieure, intitulée « Et si l’on réinventait l’avenir ? »
« Notre société crève des silos qui nous divisent, des étiquettes que nous passons nos vies à coller sur les uns et les autres, des cases où nous enfermons les autres et où nous nous enfermons. Nous avons passé des siècles à voir le monde d’une manière morcelée, cela a influé sur nos métiers, notre organisation du travail, nos innovations, nos industries, sur le développement de nos sciences, de nos formations, sur l’organisation de nos filières, sur notre rapport à la Nature ou encore sur nos territoires. N’est-il pas temps de créer des ponts entre les mondes ? Et si l’hybridation était la grande tendance du monde qui vient ? L’hybridation, c’est le mariage improbable ! C’est le fait de mettre ensemble des choses, des secteurs, des activités, des métiers, des sciences, des usages, des compétences, des arts, des matériaux, des territoires, des imaginaires, des générations, qui, a priori n’avaient pas grand-chose à voir ou à faire ensemble, voire qui pouvaient sembler contradictoires, et qui, ensemble, vont donner lieu à de nouveaux usages, de nouveaux lieux, de nouveaux métiers, de nouveaux services et produits, de nouveaux matériaux, de nouveaux modèles d’innovation, de nouvelles formes de gouvernance, de nouveaux territoires… De nouveaux mondes, en somme ! »
