O2I -Open to Innovate

The O2I – Open To Innvate Living Lab is a space for interconnection and innovation, created within Clust-ER Innovate in collaboration with the Department of Economics and Management of the University of Ferrara. We explore future scenarios for the application of AI and GenAI, adopting a future-conscious innovation approach. We develop forecasting capabilities to guide the informed adoption of enabling technologies, ensuring that today’s actions contribute to building a competitive digital future based on ethics and sustainability.

We analyse the scenarios and impacts of AI and GenAI from economic, environmental, and social perspectives, offering strategic insights to stakeholders in support of regional competitiveness.
We foster the creation of interconnections and projects among economists, entrepreneurs, legal experts, citizens, and policy makers.
