With seventy keynote speakers spread over more than forty events and a broad convergence of interests and prominent figures from industry, economics, academia, politics, and associations, TBIZ presents itself to the public as the only major hub of people, ideas, and content in Southern Italy aiming to drive innovation.
The third edition of the initiative dedicated to Innovation in the South will be held at the Bagnoli HUB in Naples on Tuesday, November 8, and Wednesday, November 9. TBIZ supports the culture of innovation, considering it an essential premise for the socioeconomic changes facing the Mezzogiorno. TechnologyBIZ also aims to provide authoritative responses to the growing demand for innovation through complex digitization from private and public companies in Southern Italy.

Among the events, we highlight:
From Heavy Industry to Thoughtful Industry. One hundred and fifty years of Italian unification: it is time to innovate the Southern Question as well. A strong new knowledge industry can bring the South to the levels it deserves.
Infrastructure: a highway to the future of the South. The leading countries in Europe are those that have invested in physical infrastructure: efficient networks of telecommunications, transport, energy.
A team for Naples. Making Naples the hub for industrial planning and innovation in the Mezzogiorno. This is the vision of the Naples City Council in the field of productive activities. Sharing such a vision is easy, but to realize it teamwork is needed. Politics, Banking, and Industry dialogue with the TechnologyBIZ Community.
CIO-Ethics. The South must be a country for young people. In the Mezzogiorno, 45% of those who leave hold a degree or diploma. What can individuals in positions of responsibility do to inspire new generations and give them concrete help? The contribution of CIOs – Chief Information Officers, the heads of the ICT corporate function.
Right to be forgotten on the Internet, when the search engine becomes a judge. Extending the right to be forgotten to the Internet: everyone must have the possibility to put the past behind them, but there is a risk that Internet freedom could be limited.
Let’s stop with ICT! Computing and agri-food. Agri-food production can no longer do without ICT, yet Southern software companies do not seem ready to meet this demand. What are the real development prospects?
eParticipation, a new society within reach. Information and participation in decision-making processes are tools for building trust between the Administration and Citizens for a relationship that must finally become collaborative. The case of Naples: is the road to a new city also through Social Networks?
A vessel for the Mediterranean: businesses networked for export. The Mediterranean route is now a concrete way to revive the economy of the Mezzogiorno. The Business Network tool is the ideal vessel for this journey. We discuss it with experts.
ICT in Healthcare: it’s time to recover lost ground. Health ICT spending in Italy, besides being still low compared to the EU average, is also unfairly distributed: per capita ICT spending is about 21 euros in the North and only 9 euros per inhabitant in the South. This is no coincidence.
BeSocial, when the Company discovers the social network. Facebook, Viadeo, YouTube, Twitter, Linkedin, H2biz, and others are services with which to present one’s reality and products in a new and informal way. Experts discuss it.
The Smart City. When particular attention to resource use is necessary, there is a strong temptation to think that innovation is a luxury. We believe that precisely in times of crisis, a courageous vision of the future and a decisive turn towards technological and organizational innovation are needed.
