ETNO

L’inizio di ogni nuovo anno porta inevitabilmente con sé il bilancio su quello appena passato e le previsioni per il futuro. Su queste ultime e sulle prospettive hi-tech per i prossimi 12 mesi si concentra lo Speciale ETNODigital ‘2014 Tech Trends’, lanciato due giorni fa da ETNO, l’associazione che riunisce i principali operatori europei.

 

“I membri di ETNO stanno all’economia digitale europea come il sistema nervoso sta al corpo umano. Le nostre aziende offrono servizi e infrastrutture – le vene e le arterie dell’economia digitale – che consentono ai cittadini e alle imprese europee di godere delle enormi opportunità offerte dallo sviluppo di Internet”. Così Luigi Gambardella, Presidente dell’Executive Board di ETNO.

“Per fare fino in fondo la nostra parte e per rispondere alle sfide di un settore in costante evoluzione come il nostro, guardare avanti non è un’opzione, ma una necessità – continua Gambardella – Per questo abbiamo pensato di raccogliere in un’edizione speciale di questa newsletter i principali trend che potrebbero caratterizzare l’economia digitale nel 2014″.

“Si tratti di evoluzioni nel Cloud o nella telemedicina, di smart cities o di big data, un dato è certo: il volume dei byte generati e scambiati aumenterà esponenzialmente e gli operatori dovranno investire ingenti risorse per garantire che le reti del futuro siano in grado di sostenere l’esplosione del traffico Internet”, aggiunge Gambardella, sottolinenado che “Per questo i policy-makers europei dovranno fare la loro parte, promuovendo nuove regole per il nostro settore che incentivino innovazione e investimenti nelle reti di nuova generazione”.

“Collaborare con le istituzioni europee per raggiungere questo obiettivo resterà la priorità del lavoro di ETNO nel 2014 e non solo – chiude Gambardella – Potete stare sicuri che in questo caso non si tratta di una predizione o di una scommessa, ma di una certezza”. 

 

Lo Speciale si focalizza su alcune categorie ben definite e passa in rassegna le tendenze individuate dai maggiori esperti in tema di Future Tech Trends, Mobile & Wireless, Mobile Marketing, Security, Cloud Computing, Internet of Things, BioTech, Social Media, Gaming, Wearable Technology, eJournalism, Smart City, Future Law, Content Marketing, Digital Marketing, Education, eCommerce, Retail Trends, Brand Trends, Cable Tv & Broadband.
