Innovation, Alparone (Lombardy Region): “Digitalization is a tool and not the goal”

Milan, 19 April. – “Taking up the challenge of the digitalisation of the country system can only pass through the knowledge capital of the Order of Engineers, which represents a beautiful piece of our country’s history: professional orders are transfers of knowledge”. Marco Alparone, vice-president of the Lombardy Region, thus announces the start of the second day of work at the “General States of digital engineering” in Milan, an event of the Order of Engineers of the Province of Milan. “This is an important challenge for Italy and Lombardy, also in terms of sustainability and not just simplification, as well as the attractiveness of the Italian system,” continues Alparone. “This is a challenge that we are facing as a public administration even with large investments, because the first process passes through the digitalization of public administration. Digitalization is the tool and not the goal,” continues Alparone, “and the digitalization tool allows us to be competitive, attractive and sustainable. In structures, in the healthcare sector and in industry. It takes great collaboration with all systems: the great challenge of the Order of Engineers is to accompany the transformation and to do so with its skills, which become the engine of development for the country”, concluded Alparone.
