"The Digital Innovation Observatories of the School of Management of Politecnico di Milano were born in 1999 with the aim of making culture in all the main areas of Digital Innovation. Today they are a qualified point of reference in the field of Digital Innovation in Italy and integrate research, communication and continuous updating activities."
GMDE, given the 2020 experience, has chosen to renew its commitment for 2021 to support three observers, one for each thematic area proposed (Digital Transformation, Digital Solution, Vertical).
