“On the need to digitise Italy, we all agree. But there is no point in skirting around it. Without investment in infrastructure and services, the digitisation of this country will be neither rapid nor effective. And to be able to afford them, we have to evolve our industry and our development models now.”
With these words, TIM CEO Pietro Labriola spoke at the event called La Ripartenza, the annual review of debates on the Italian economy and society led and organised by journalist Nicola Porro. This year's venue was Teatro Petruzzelli in Bari, on 7 and 8 July.
During the Enterprise and Infrastructure panel, where he debated with other leading Italian top managers, Labriola touched on a number of pressing issues, such as the excessive fragmentation of the European market, and then returned to the need to develop the networks of the future without delay to accelerate the country's recovery.
