WHAT WE ARE LOOKING FOR

Today’s metropolitan areas are moving towards an “ecosystemic” point of view, with connected services and a more and more digital, interconnected and fast approach. Several data sources are affecting the way PA’s and municipalities interpret information; with the right tools, the data generated can be highly actionable in addressing security and surveillance initiatives, as well as for sustainability initiatives. 

The digitization of services also affects other areas of activities for PA’s and companies, such as building management and valorization of real estate properties; concerning this topic, the Maggioli Group is looking for solutions (hardware or software) capable of simplifying all the aspects of building management, with PA’s, small professional studios or freelances as a main target. 

The publishing and education sector is also experiencing a shift towards digital technologies, with several areas of the learning process being affected by this phenomenon. Professionals and university students are looking for innovative and interactive platforms to upgrade their set of skills or to learn new ones. 

The Maggioli Group, thanks to its extensive experience, is aware of these needs and aims to be a key player in providing innovative services to municipalities as well as to citizens.
