High speed Infrastuctures and Networks for the 2019 Metropolis European Capital of Culture.
The Italian NorthEast is living through yet another phase change. For some years, particularly since the crisis has affected significantly all the traditional businesses on which this area’s economy has developed, the more dynamic companies have chosen to internationalize and innovate their products, to make them more competitive in the global markets. Networks, facilitating customer relations, the exchanging of ideas and creativity, have gained a prominent role in the creation of value.
Today it has become more and more obvious that only with ideas (culture and significance) and with suitable infrastructures and services, the NorthEast can overcome the risks of marginalization and decline. This fate has damaged entire industries (jewellery, chair manufacturing) and is menacing others (furniture, fashion, machine and footwear manufacturing).
Last year’s Festival launched the proposal to promote the NorthEast as the 2019 European Capital of Culture, a big event that intends to redefine the role of the area, and to redirect its planning. In this fourth edition the Festival would like to highlight the grand theme of the infrastructures and the networks (tangible and intangible), on which the “2019 Metropolis” will have to depend for moving ideas and goods to travel, developed by the new creative industries.
