Adnkronos (Adnkronos) – A Roma, dal 10 al 13 novembre alla Casa dell’Architettura – Acquario Romano, grandi e piccole imprese dialogano insieme con istituzioni, innovatori e mondo accademico, per portare nel cuore del Paese problemi e soluzioni reali da tutta Italia, trovando competenze, tecnologie e alleanze, per costruire risposte applicabili e servizi efficienti per i cittadini. Centro di tutto è Jazz’Inn Capitale, il laboratorio di open innovation, promosso da Fondazione Ampioraggio, che porta al confronto le sfide di 48 ‘Case Giver’, realtà che mettono a disposizione dei tavoli di lavoro, esigenze e progetti da sviluppare.
L’iniziativa – preceduta dal Welcome Day del 9 novembre a Palazzo Valentini che vedrà intervenire tra gli altri Valeria Baglio, Riccardo Corbucci, Giovanna Ruggiero, Gabriella Coluccelli, Marialuisa Forte, Leandro Aglieri e Fabio Fasolino, con le conclusioni di Antonella Melito – è realizzata in collaborazione con Roma Capitale e con il coinvolgimento della Città Metropolitana di Roma Capitale, e nasce dalla sinergia con la Commissione Innovazione Tecnologica e Statuto di Roma Capitale.
The workshop days will feature speeches by Rome Mayor Roberto Gualtieri, Nicola Zingaretti, ASVIS President Enrico Giovannini, Cavaliere Gianluigi Viscardi, Ernesto Ciorra, Maria Cristina Origlia, and Giada Susca.
Alla base di Jazz’Inn c’è un servizio da migliorare, un territorio da valorizzare, un progetto da sviluppare che cerca idee, competenze e partner con cui affrontarle e realizzarle.
Un obiettivo alto, una sfida per il futuro dell’innovazione che Jazz’Inn ha lanciato, raccolto e, in dieci anni di attività dimostrato essere possibile, anche alla luce dei risultati che ad oggi hanno avuto una ricaduta di 100 milioni i di euro sul territorio nazionale. Cinque aree in particolare, tra i casi già realizzati e in programma ai tavoli da lavoro, mostrano come il tema del decennale, ‘Umanità Aumentata – Persone oltre la Tecnologia’, si traduca nelle scelte di chi amministra, produce e opera nei territori nell’applicazione di innovazioni in funzione delle necessità della persona e della società.
Energy transition, circular economy
Renewable energy communities can become a social infrastructure, capable of combining energy production and sharing with new forms of participation and collaboration in local communities. It is along this line that Banca Etica is focusing its contribution to Jazz'Inn Capitale, including CERs (Renewable Energy Communities) among the tools of the energy and ecological transition and a model of sustainable and participatory development. The bank reports supporting over 150 CERs nationwide and processing over €35 million in credit for communities, third-party producers, and prosumers—those who produce and consume energy. The model combines dedicated credit solutions, technical and commercial coordination, and a network of national and local collaborations. This includes the Respira.coop project, with Legacoop and Coopfond, and relationships with èNostra, Free Luce e Gas, and Italia Solare. The proposal submitted for discussion combines financial instruments, technical expertise, and community organization: three essential elements for the energy transition to generate environmental benefits and strengthen local cohesion. The Retrofit Innovation Challenge by City Green Light, a subsidiary of Igneo Infrastructure Partners, aims to make buildings, public lighting, and mobility more efficient, including by addressing the processes that support their management. The challenge addresses urban transition through four areas of work, aiming to improve both infrastructure and the operational capacity of those who manage it. The first area concerns buildings: digitizing and accelerating energy audits, feasibility studies, and access to incentives, making savings more precise and maintenance more effective. The second focuses on the public lighting network, leveraging it as a platform for intelligent services, safety, environmental quality, and decision support. The third area concerns parking and sustainable mobility, and the challenge is to make parking management more efficient and its use easier by integrating it with electric charging and shared mobility. The fourth area, which spans the entire organization, is applied research, technology transfer, and training. SSIP (Experimental Station for the Leather and Tanning Materials Industry) is supporting the transformation of the tanning and circular materials industries. The article presents the work of the national research organization, rather than a single project initiative, and identifies environmental protection as the guiding principle for product and process innovation. Priorities include process circularity, environmental impact reduction, traceability, and the valorization of by-products.
Accessibility and public services
Enrolling a child in nursery school, requesting lunch or school transportation can be a complex process for those with language barriers, unfamiliarity with digital technologies, or struggling to understand administrative jargon. The Municipality of Cinisello Balsamo proposes to address these obstacles with 'From Home AI to Social AI', extending artificial intelligence assistance to municipal socio-educational services on individual demand. The starting point is ACasa, a project that combines social support and innovation in public housing: in four experimental buildings, artificial intelligence features have been developed to facilitate tenants' requests and reports to the agency. The extension to all municipal housing stock is indicated as the first step towards a broader model, aimed especially at vulnerable people. The goal is to help people express their needs in their own language and prepare applications, while maintaining user confirmation, operator support and decisions in the hands of the offices. To move forward, the administration is seeking other organizations to experiment with, partners for integrations and reusable components, and funders for extension and user support. Reducing the language barriers that can hinder relationships with public services and access to protection is also the goal of the Linguistic Mediator project, presented by INAIL as part of its participation in Jazz'Inn Capitale 2026. The initiative interprets innovation as a tool to bring the Institute closer to people, taking into account their needs, abilities, and vulnerabilities. Digital transformation is therefore linked to the evolution of the organization and skills, with the aim of offering simpler, more accessible, inclusive, and personalized services. The dialogue with public and private organizations at Jazz'Inn is presented as an opportunity to share skills and build common solutions. In a scenario marked by the spread of artificial intelligence, Inail calls for the public administration's responsibility to govern technologies and direct them toward human and social objectives. The evaluation criterion remains the concrete improvement in the quality of care and the relationship with the person. The Municipality of Livorno is proposing to Jazz'Inn to launch a national challenge dedicated to accessibility through Livorno Accessibile 2030, a project that aims to address architectural, sensorial, digital and organizational barriers through an accessibility governance model in which digital technologies and artificial intelligence help coordinate interventions and make urban services and spaces more usable. With the hope that it can become the starting point for a process of co-design and experimentation, with solutions transferable to other municipalities. The vision 'Augmented humanity, augmented rights' thus takes on a concrete goal: using innovation to make cities and services easier to live in and use. On the tourism front, the Bandiera Lilla is the recognition that contributes, with the experience of accompanying Municipalities and operators, to the improvement of reception and welcome by reducing barriers, a stimulus to improve the existing and to create a "network" with the Associations, also becoming a privileged and efficient channel for 80 million European disabled tourists.
Work and territorial welfare
Bringing farms and workers closer together through a recruitment system that increases the visibility of job offers and streamlines the application process. This is the goal of ConfagriJob, the project through which Confagricoltura is participating as a Case Giver in the tenth anniversary of Jazz'Inn, addressing the challenge of matching labor supply and demand in the agricultural sector. Born from a collaboration with Umana, through CVing, and Indeed, the project supports Confagricoltura's regional offices in their recruitment and training activities. The results reported in the paper include over 4,1 million job posting views since October 2024, more than 28.000 applications, and 39 out of 90 regional offices participating. The initiative connects regional presence, digital tools, and the needs of agricultural businesses.
How can a welfare system make a region more attractive for those who work there, arrive there, or choose to return? Bring this question to Jazz'Inn Veneto Welfare, an operational unit of Veneto Lavoro, which promotes integrated welfare systems in Veneto that include supplemental pensions, supplemental healthcare, local and corporate welfare, research, and financial education. Participation as a case giver arises from the need to determine which activities are working and which require development. Meeting with the Explorers and experiences from other regions should help identify tools to adapt, new forms of intervention, and possible additional activities to develop over the next twelve months. Whether corporate welfare can become a driver of development for an entire region is the question that inspired the proposal from Welfare BIT – Gruppo Centro Paghe, which brings to Jazz'Inn a three-step model to connect businesses, governments, and social organizations, transforming resources earmarked for workers' well-being into opportunities for the entire community. The idea is to activate a virtuous economic cycle, in which companies invest in employee well-being, workers and their families access local services, and local operators tap into new resources and opportunities. A greater share of wealth thus remains local, supporting employment, quality services, and community vitality, while municipalities assume the role of promoters and facilitators of a pact that unites public capacity, private resources, and social expertise.
Urban regeneration and territorial cohesion
Revitalizing the center of Avezzano by revitalizing the historic Mazzini-Corradini-Fermi complex and opening it to new functions: this is the project the Municipality is bringing to Jazz'Inn Capitale 2026, linking it to the Urban Marketing Plan and seeking investment and public-private partnership opportunities. The technical and economic feasibility study envisions the redevelopment of the center's school buildings, preserving their architectural value. The centerpiece is the approximately 2.500-square-meter internal courtyard, which includes a covered, air-conditioned plaza of approximately 1.450 square meters and an outdoor space with fountains, greenery, and rest areas. The interior spaces could accommodate entertainment and dining activities, professional studios, and cultural and university initiatives. The goal is to create a hub capable of attracting people and activities year-round, connecting urban heritage, the local economy, services, and quality of life. Oxfam Italy aims to transform reception and inclusion into development opportunities—for areas at risk of losing residents, services, and economic prospects—by presenting the challenge "Open Communities for Those Who Arrive, Return, and Choose to Stay," linking support for vulnerable people with the fight against depopulation and the revitalization of inland areas. The proposal integrates social inclusion, training, access to employment, and housing, and is aimed specifically at young people, including those neither in education nor employment, women, the unemployed or those far from the labor market, and third-country nationals.
Data and networks for land management
Transforming data from diverse sources into useful information for planning services, managing flows, and responding to emergencies: with 'Rome Data Driven: Mobility, Tourism, Security', Windtre presents an approach that combines advanced connectivity, data analytics, artificial intelligence, and cybersecurity to support the decisions of administrations and operators. Tested at the 2025 Rome Marathon, analyzed with CKDelta using aggregated and anonymous mobility data, visitor behavior analysis can help plan transportation, hospitality, and services, and understand the tourism impact of events. This approach also applies to emergency communications, as during the Geolier concert at the Maradona Stadium in Naples, when Windtre tested a 5G standalone network solution with ASL Napoli 1 and the Federico II University, with network segments dedicated to different service needs, to connect ambulances and the operations center. The test, conducted in a crowded environment, demonstrated the ability to prioritize critical communications and maintain continuity and reliability even in the presence of congestion. And again, in Molise, where Windtre Business is supporting the regional Civil Protection Agency in a trial for the prevention and management of forest fires, or at the Salerno Container Terminal, where the operator has created a private 5G mobile network with a network core installed directly in the terminal. These four cases illustrate different applications of the same approach: integrating data and infrastructure to improve knowledge of phenomena and the operational capacity of local areas.
At Jazz'Inn, these experiences—just a few of the many planned—will bring together innovators, researchers, professionals, startups, and investors. The next step could be shared experimentation, technological integration, or an investment path. Over 800 participants are expected, with 42 innovative projects, 7 Open Innovation Talks, workshops, and four jazz evenings: the perfect setting for fostering collaborations that will continue to thrive beyond the Roman days. The four musical evenings, featuring artists such as Fabrizio Bosso and Javier Girotto, are an integral part of this journey. During the concerts, mutual listening, improvisation, and the ability to embrace each other's contributions allow diverse musicians to build a common sound, capable of surprising even those who create it. This is the same understanding that Jazz'Inn seeks to foster between people, skills, and organizations.
