Summary:
The Robotics and AI For Socio-Economic Empowerment (RAISE) project aims to sustain the development of an innovation ecosystem based on the scientific and technological domains of AI and Robotics, focusing on the needs of a specific regional context, i.e. the Liguria Region. It eventually aspires to evolving into an ecosystem highly attractive for firms, investors and researchers, both at national and international level.
The proposed project is rooted in a regional territory characterized by scientific, technological, and economic specificities. In this perspective, it aims to build on strengths and help reduce weaknesses, by leveraging on existing resources and capabilities as well as by generating new opportunities through effective and efficient knowledge transfer. The idea underlying this ecosystem is to coordinate and value these projects in a logic of integrating technology transfer system, using the local market as an extraordinary and immediate testing lab. In this perspective, the ecosystem represents a sort of “engine” to rewrite the basis of Italian industrialization not only addressing the “Digital Transformation” but also going towards a further evolution in which the looming “lack of hands” will be solved through a “Robotic Transformation” that requires strategic and technological support to be reached.
