Digital Transformation
Digital transformation is first of all a cultural process:
Digital transformation is the means, business growth and development are the end.
What we offer to businesses
Adopting the digital approach to increase business competitiveness thanks to process innovation: this is one of the goals of Area Science Park, which has created an open, integrated and inclusive platform with local public and private excellences.
Industry Platform 4 Friuli Venezia-Giulia (IP4FVG) is successfully experimenting – first at a regional level, with a view to cross-border expansion – a synergic development model to make the manufacturing companies more competitive and to allow the ICT companies to grow more rapidly.
Enhancing the startups
In Italy, the level of digital culture is far from advanced.
According to the 2018 Digital Economy and Society Index (DESI), Italy ranks 25th out of 28 countries – a position unchanged since 2015. Digital issues are of strategic importance.
According to estimates, 85,000 new specialists were in demand in 2018, 65,000 for entry-level positions, more than the half with a college degree, to meet a demand for labor that can be met only in part.
The situation is already critical as regards profiles such as Data Scientist, Business Analyst, Project Manager, Security Analyst and many more – all of which are necessary to carry out Digital Transformation projects.
The reluctance of companies and public institutions to adopt the technology mainly lies in the fact that certain entrepreneurs are unable to fully grasp the potential of the digital solutions, and the way in which they can be used.
In this scenario, startups may play a critical role in boosting digital transformation in the Country and within the enterprises.
