00:02Italy can play a leading role in strategic technologies provided that
00:08build collaborations capable of producing skills, applications and industrial opportunities
00:14in our country. The Undersecretary to the Presidency of the Council with responsibility for innovation
00:19technological Alessio Butti said this at the end of the New York stage of the institutional mission
00:25in the United States. Butti participated in the YonQ Investor Day, an opportunity to discuss with one
00:32of the main global operators in the field of quantum computing. The presence took on particular
00:38relevance in light of the agreement between YonQ and the Italian company Lutec, aimed at accelerating
00:45the adoption of quantum computing and security-related technologies. The American mission serves
00:51to transform dialogue into concrete investments and projects. Our goal is to connect research
00:56and business, attract capital and make Italy a place where the technologies of the future are not
01:03not only used but also developed, Butti concluded. The Bank of Italy conducted an investigation
01:10to assess the financial literacy and digital finance skills of micro-entrepreneurs
01:17In Italy. In particular, the Bank of Italy has noted the use of cloud computing by microenterprises.
01:22computing for storing, processing, and sharing data. The cloud, a solution
01:28digital easier to implement, it is adopted extensively by 36% of micro-enterprises,
01:35to which is added a further 8% that uses it in a limited way. The use is more limited
01:41of robotics, process interconnection, and artificial intelligence. Each
01:46technology is adopted extensively or to a limited extent by approximately 5% of microenterprises.
01:53However, a portion of micro-enterprises is engaged in experimenting with such solutions
01:58or foresees its introduction within a year, 19% for AI, 13% for interconnection
02:04processes and 12% for robotics. Sogin has opened its website for registration.
02:11to visit the Sogin and Nucleo nuclear plants in the Research Center on Friday 25 September
02:17Casaccia di Roma. The initiative is part of the European Researchers' Night.
02:23and researchers and wants to raise awareness of the work that the Sogin group carries out to manage
02:27nuclear plants, now in the process of being decommissioned and radioactive waste from their storage in
02:33temporary deposits for permanent placement in the national repository.
02:38Three tours are planned, two in the Sogin OPEC plant and one in the nucleus,
02:43each lasting about an hour. The first shows a simulation of the operations
02:48of irradiated nuclear fuel handling, the second tour will involve the
02:53control room and will allow you to see how radioactivity is measured and used
02:57special containment tents, the third will be dedicated to the characterization laboratory areas
03:03radiological and radioactive waste management.
03:08Venturi presented Alta Luna, a compact and easy-to-maneuver rover, at the Space Summit in Paris.
03:14designed to carry out activities near future lunar bases. Designed to assist
03:19astronauts, will be able to carry out missions that involve, for example, the movement
03:24and the transport of loads. The vehicle has a rated mass of 300 kg and a capacity of
03:29particularly high obstacle clearance. Alta Luna is designed to operate
03:34in two modes, with an astronaut on board or autonomously. It performs operations
03:39such as excavation, leveling and ground preparation, as well as site development and
03:43creation of basic routes and infrastructures.
