Turin loses the European Patent Court, the institute for artificial intelligence arrives under the Mole

At the end the ‘derby’ between Milan and Turin is won by the Lombard capital. The Prime Minister has in fact identified Milan as a “candidate to host the Unified Patent Court”, while Turin is indicated as the main seat for the Italian Institute for Artificial Intelligence (I3A). “The goal – explains a note from Palazzo Chigi – is to create a synergy between the two cities and the government and at the same time consolidate the north-west axis of the country: a strategy that would make Milan and Turin even stronger and, with esse, Italy “. So Milan will be the Italian candidate city to host the central division of the Tub (Unified European Patent Court) specializing in chemistry, pharmaceuticals and life sciences, a division that following Brexit will no longer be maintained in London.

Turin was instead chosen as the main seat for the Italian Institute for Artificial Intelligence (I3A), the network that will coordinate the various research activities in this field and which will constitute one of the main elements of the strategy defined by the Ministry for Economic Development. It is a research and technology transfer structure capable of attracting talents from the international market and, at the same time, becoming a reference point for the development of artificial intelligence in Italy, in connection with the main technological trends (including 5G, Industry 4.0 , Cybersecurity) “, explains Palazzo Chigi, who adds:” The main sectors involved will be those of manufacturing and robotics, IoT, health, mobility, agrifoood and energy, public administration, culture and digital humanities, aerospace “.

Mayor Appendino satisfied: “A decision that rewards the path of the city and its entire innovative ecosystem in a strategic context for the entire country, which is artificial intelligence: a path that has allowed to consolidate the excellence already existing in the capital Piedmontese in terms of research and technology transfer, leveraging on economic and productive sectors historically strategic for the city and creating the conditions to attract new investments, including in infrastructures such as Tim’s recent Data Center project.
