Brescia's economic system, historically based on a solid industrial fabric and local finance, is now facing the challenges of the digital and ecological transition. In a global context characterized, on the one hand, by rapid technological changes and, on the other, by the growing attention to climate change, the integration of Artificial Intelligence emerges not only as a driver of operational efficiency, but also as a key element in ensuring market stability and the long-term sustainability of companies.
Through the discussion between representatives of institutions, the academic world and the production sector, the conference aims to analyze how the paradigmatic changes induced by the development of AI can strengthen the links between companies and finance, offering new tools for risk assessment, optimization of production processes and ESG reporting.
