00:20The first time I heard you talk about the 31 Data Mine project, I was absolutely fascinated.
00:28In the past, we talked about data centers in particular locations, but we never heard about the use of a
00:38mine,
00:38because in the collective imagination, the mines are a humid place, so idone to a data center.
00:46In the Trentino's case, we have a special project, because the Dolomitica rock is absolutely dry,
00:54in a stable mountain, but above all, we have to connect the needs of spaces of this type
01:01with what is the first industrial waste, that is the already used mine.
01:17We are very pleased to have this data center with other initiatives.
01:27The deposit of milk, wine, cheese, and in perspective other initiatives.
01:33Because we have to develop synergies.
01:37Who needs heat can use the heat that we produce.
01:47Working in the field of artificial intelligence, one fundamental resource is the data center,
01:55the power of calculation that we have at the disposal.
01:57So, to think that the University, at a certain point, can have a part or have contributed to
02:05to create, within the Trentino territory, a data center with unique characteristics,
02:12is certainly, I would say, very emotional in some cases.
02:28And that's that's it.
02:32We have a big difference.
02:34We're all right.
02:34Our back, we're all right.
02:38Our back, we're all right.
02:39We're all right.
02:41We're all right.
02:42We're all right.
02:43We're all right.
