• DIGITAL LIFE: solutions to support every age in accessing digital technologies, leading to the discovery of new ways of daily life, such as distance learning, smart working, e-commerce and the ever-increasing number of digital communication methods.
• WELFARE: solutions to increase life quality of employees and households both at work and at home.
• HOME: innovative solutions for what has now become the shelter during the health emergency: the home, to offer higher levels of safety, comfort and life quality.
• MOBILITY: technology-based solutions to ensure the right balance combining safety, efficiency and sustainability for people and goods mobility.
• SECURITY: applications that, in a phase of increasing digitalization, can guarantee the highest level of security for connection and interaction, in terms of privacy, reputation but also protection of physical and digital assets.
