At the Made in Italy Summit 2026 organized by Il Sole 24 Ore, Giuseppe Di Franco, CEO of Lutech, shared his thoughts on the role of artificial intelligence in the country’s competitiveness.
The adoption of AI represents a concrete opportunity to boost productivity and accelerate business transformation, but technology alone is not enough. To generate results, we need data, digitized processes, and, above all, the expertise to transform innovation into value.
The speech also focused on the topics of training and young talent, which are fundamental to driving change. This journey requires strong collaboration between businesses, universities, and institutions to develop new skills and strengthen the country’s capacity for innovation.
Giuseppe Di Franco also highlighted the importance of digital sovereignty—defined as the ability to develop proprietary know-how and expertise in strategic technologies, from artificial intelligence to quantum computing—and the need for a regulatory framework capable of supporting innovation without hindering its development.
