On the 15.05.2018 Pietro Salini, Chief Executive of Salini
Impregilo spoke during a panel discussion called “Future Trends in Infrastructure”.
The panel was organised and held at the Triennale di Milano.
Mr Salini stressed the importance to plant the seeds for
future generations. He felt that the
concept of work has to go back to being able to plan and build. Using innovation, change and skill are the
key elements of a winning strategy in a very competitive global market that is
ever evolving. Salini said innovation brings together two key elements: people
with know-how and ingenuity, and
technology, whether it be digitalisation, artificial
intelligence or the Internet. These go from being simple tools to key elements
for business to improve its productivity and cost efficiency.
In addition to Salini, the other participants on the panel
that discussed the future prospects for the infrastructure sector were Stefano
Boeri, President of the Triennale in
Milan; Andrea Goldstein, Economics Professor at the Catholic University of
Milan; Marta Dassù, Senior Director of European Affairs at the Aspen Institute;
and Riccardo Monti, Senior Partner & Managing Director for Boston
Consulting Group in Milan.
The panel discussion was followed by entertainment provided
by the Cameristi della Scala, a chamber orchestra that was originally founded
in 1982 with musicians from the Orchestra of
Teatro alla Scala, performing Vivaldi and Piazzolla.
The work of people who contributed to Italy’s growth from
the beginning of the 20th century to today were celebrated as part of the
Cyclopica exhibition. The exhibition will run until the June 3rd 2018
and it offers an immersive, multi-sensorial journey enhanced by more than 1.2
million photos and 600 videos that document the history of work and the
challenges that have often appeared impossible to overcome, such as the
transfer of the temples of Abu Simbel in Egypt, the construction of the
Trans-Iranian Railway, the new canal in Panama and some of the world’s biggest
dams The exhibition is well worth a visit if you get you chance. For further
