During the festival, the city will be transformed into a great showcase of innovation and research on major frontier themes with its research system, and will at the same time host eminent scientists, acclaimed innovators and business men and women who will bring their inspiring testimonies . Great new features of this edition will be in particular the Friday dedicated to the young people of our schools and the Thursday to businesses with an event within the event dedicated to them. All the players in research and innovation, together with the productive world, will once again demonstrate the effort of our Trentino towards the impossible, towards the future that awaits us and which, also thanks to the skills acquired and the investments in progress, are we will certainly be able to deal with it successfully” concluded Spinelli.

These issues have also become strategic assets for the development of Trentino and today guide the renewal of our entrepreneurial system to aim for growth in the level of internationalization thanks to an increasingly broad synergy with the world of Research and University as a tangible contribution to growth of the Italian system. From this point of view, Rovereto has become a reference of excellence, through the innovation hub located in the former manufacturing plant, a formidable attractor for many young students, researchers, start-up incubator and new businesses. The festival is aimed primarily at them, but not only, because the intent is to bring it to life for a wide range of the population and guests who will find a welcoming and lively city” he claims Maurizio Rossini, CEO Trentino Marketing.
“Wired Next Fest in Rovereto represents a great opportunity for our community, in the construction of which the city wants to be a protagonist, as it has historically been in the industrial and economic life of Trentino, and in recent years on the innovation and of research. Those who work on these issues are committed every day to making the impossible possible, I am thinking of research centres, technological centers and universities, an important part of the socio-economic fabric of Rovereto. With Wired Next Fest, an event is organized in the area which, despite being in a festive context, brings scientific and specialist knowledge out of the laboratories and classrooms, opening it up to all citizens, who will thus be able to better understand and experience innovation as an opportunity rather than as an obstacle” said the mayor of Rovereto, Giulia Robol.
