Pepe Research, in collaboration with TIG \u2013 The Innovation Group, presents the event \u201cData Centers and Territories\u201d<\/h2>\n

The establishment of data centers<\/strong> is strategic to the country\u2019s technological development, but it increasingly highlights the need for intelligent territorial governance<\/strong> by local authorities. The permitting process is gradually evolving from a straightforward matter of granting building permits into a highly complex political decision-making process.<\/p>\n

We have therefore decided to organize a meeting to explore both the opportunities<\/strong> and the most critical challenges<\/strong>, the different interests at stake<\/strong>, and some of the community engagement methodologies<\/strong> proposed by Pepe Research to support local decision-makers in their choices.<\/p>\n

Organized by Pepe Research in collaboration with TIG \u2013 The Innovation Group as part of Milano Digital Week<\/strong>, the event will take place at our offices at 6 Via Villa Mirabello on October 2 at 10:00 a.m.<\/strong><\/p>\n

It will be an opportunity to present the findings of a groundbreaking public opinion survey<\/strong> and to foster discussion among industry experts and local government representatives.<\/p>\n

Participation is free of charge, either online or in person, subject to registration via the following link: Data Centers and Territories<\/a>.<\/p>\n
