(Finance) – “Investing in technological innovation and in the circular economy are the basic principles of our entire industrial strategy. public services we can respond adequately to the challenges that the future, but also our difficult present, are posing us.

“We presented some projects related to the bioplatform of Sesto San Giovanni which today represents the first and only case in Italy of advanced recovery of sewage sludge; development projects of Neutalia, a company that we have set up together with other companies in the area; and finally we presented a whole series of digitization projects that want to try to tell how the water world will change in the coming years “.
