“On the one hand, there is gratitude and satisfaction for having been identified as president for this semester which we believe is important and which we want to manage in continuity with the initiatives already launched to consolidate the dialogue between the business world and the school”. This was stated in a note by the CEO of Autostrade per l’Italia, Roberto Tomasi, who has been appointed president of the Elis consortium for the next six months. “We are reflecting on what future strategies are, from the world of energy, to infrastructure, to welfare, to the world of food and water and the tools that can be used to create a balance within a society increasingly global. We assumed that infrastructures were certain, in reality they age like people “, underlines the CEO of Aspi. Today, Tomasi points out, “we must renew our infrastructural assets also to adapt it to a presence of traffic that did not exist at the time and to be able to keep our network in operation for the next 50 years, approximately 7 billion will be needed a year. The challenge that we can no longer postpone is that of sustainability. In 2050 we will double our energy needs, currently in the world 27 terawatt hours of energy are consumed, produced in brown mode, which instead we must produce in a green way, if we want to achieve an energy transition . To do this and to achieve the greenhouse gas reduction objectives, we must build a path made up of industry, capacity and competence “. In these six months, underlines Tomasi,” we will try to identify the mechanisms of this pact. , identifying three temporal priorities: the very short-term ones, to face the challenges of tomorrow that require widespread and technical skills in d different areas, from digital to the world of infrastructure to the world of energy. A second dimension, medium-long term, which will see us committed to be able to train and stimulate teachers and children in secondary schools, so that they can be directed towards the needs of the future “.” The third dimension, more strategic, because it directly involves we, as an industry, in trying to convey the vision of the future in 20 years in order to build the skills needed to face the challenges needed in the medium to long term. In order to imagine the future we must imagine building different schemes, we cannot think of replicating what we have done in the past to face the new challenges “, concludes the CEO of Aspi.
