Italian Aerospace: Strategic Asset for Security and Technological Sovereignty

Autore · Elisa Varnelli

What happened. Italy's aerospace sector faces global challenges and future threats. The country needs to improve its position in Europe and the world. To do this, it must work together with enterprises and institutions. A plea was made by Chiara Pertosa, CEO of Sitael, a Pugliese satellite construction company. Pertosa highlighted the importance of participating in the European Iris2 program that provides an alternative to Starlink. She added that 'Italy has so far not participated actively in the European Iris2 program that provides an alternative to Starlink. But it is possible to recover and participate in the projects on satellites in lower orbits. The industry is expanding.' We are bringing forward many developments such as the Empyreum platform - says Capo - capable of carrying sensors that can observe the earth with great precision. The use of digital technologies in the aerospace sector is a point of strength of the Italian sector. As confirms Mauro Fioretti CEO of Pietro Rosa Tbm: 'We adopted digital technologies thirty years ago. Today we are facing a significant leap.' Mauro Capo, responsible for aerospace & naval of Accenture Italia, adds: 'The project realized with Fincantieri Ingenium can be replicated in the aerospace sector.' 'The digital and artificial intelligence are changing the nature of aerospace products: software is no longer just a support, it is part of the product. In his intervention at the panel titled 'Aerospace: a strategic asset on which to build competitiveness, security, and technological sovereignty', the manager added: 'In this scenario, technological sovereignty is not an abstract concept – it means being able to count on one's own technology when it is really needed, controlling data, architectures and operational capabilities. Italian industrial chains have the excellence to compete, but they need to evolve faster than the threats. Accenture brings digital competencies and scaling capabilities to enable this transformation, from single enterprises to the entire Aerospace & Defence industry.'
