VR1 Running Commentary, page-69

Credability lost far earlier IMO...

That being said, while accused of pumping & being too ambitious, I just cant help find justification in holding tight.

Theres no mention of VR1, so likely unrelated, but this article gives info on our significant partners TIM & Olivetti at the recent Dubai conference we also attended. Lots of common interests, but its probably nothing. Heres a snippet of translated version of article...(FYI the Olivetti CEO is same guy that presented with us at the Health presso recently.)

"...the Expo 2020 Dubai site is destined to become a smart city: District 2020, which will open its doors in 2022. And the entire Middle East is determined to engage modernity and digital transformation by opening up to the protagonists of the sector. An opportunity that the big names in the sector, Tim Group in the lead, do not want to miss. And it is in this scenario that Olivetti presented its smart city model, underlining, in the words of the CEO Quang Ngo Dinh, that "the era of hyperconnectivity in private life, industry, commerce and public administration it has already begun. The pandemic has accelerated a process already underway, refining tools that were in part already available but against which cultural barriers or mistrust still existed. We are in the era of a digital revolution, we are at the beginning but we have already come a long way ".

In the Control Room model created by the Tim Group, the data of the Smart City are processed directly by Olivetti with the aim of making them immediately available for making decisions in real time. To date, the main initiative launched concerns Venice, where a real control room has been created at the service of the city.

«Smart Cities are ecosystems that allow public administrations to operate at their best and individuals to develop their business. The impulse of the NRP and the timeliness of regulatory updates, for example on the subject of privacy, are crucial factors in a process that allows for the creation of value for the entire society "added Ngo Dinh. And also recalling the evolution in the company's business: "We put together hardware, such as sensors or network devices, connectivity and artificial intelligence services, to offer end-to-end solutions, that is to say complete", continued Ngo Dinh , citing the estimates of the Tim Study Center which see, by 2025, benefits in particular for the automotive sectors, with 3.2 billion euros per year, manufacturing (2.5 billion), Energy and Utility (2 billion), eHealth (0.9 billion) and Logistics (0.5 billion)."
