The Aosta Valley Region is taking a significant step towards technological innovation with its ambitious ‘Digital Mountain’ initiative.
Approved by the Valle Council, this multi-year plan aims to transform the region through a comprehensive digital strategy.
Key Points
The 2024-2026 plan, presented by Councillor Luciano Caveri, consists of two main sections: the Digital Agenda and the three-year implementation plan.
The Digital Agenda outlines strategies to promote digital transformation, while the three-year plan details concrete actions to achieve these goals.
Challenges and Opportunities
Councillor Caveri highlighted the rapid pace of technological innovation and the risk of public administrations focusing on outdated technologies.
The plan includes consultations with local authorities and various regional departments, resulting in about 95 projects aimed at aligning regional needs with available technologies.
