October 2025 promises to be a crucial month for technological innovation in Italy, with a calendar full of events that focus on the dialogue between artificial intelligence, business and digital humanism. Milan confirms itself as the undisputed capital of technology, hosting most of the key events, but there is no shortage of important initiatives in other cities such as Turin and even in unique contexts such as the village of Calascio.
The dominant theme is clear: artificial intelligence is no longer a future promise, but a reality that is transforming every sector. From healthcare to fintech, from marketing to industry, the real challenge is how to lead this revolution in an ethical, sustainable and human-centric way.
