Several companies and professionals accepted the invitation by attending the July 27 summer toast organized by Forethinking and power2Cloud at Officine Tamborrino in Ostuni.
A networking opportunity created to exchange insights and reflections on sustainability, digitization and training 4.0, but also to get to know the actors operating in the productive and social fabric in Puglia.
Officine Tamborrino (Scaffsystem brand) opened the doors of their space, which designs and manufactures metal furniture for residential use. Thus, among the compressed paper seats, tables, and designer bookcases, many discovered a company committed to research and development, promoting sustainability, and hosting an architecture school for young children.

It was a moment to share opportunities, but also to listen to enlightened entrepreneurs, consultants and professionals who are sensitive to the enhancement of the territory, sustainability issues and the optimization of all processes. In short, realities that are embracing change to improve themselves and not merely greenwashing.
Shortly before the aperitif, the power went out in the Ostuni area, so, illuminated by cell phone flashlights, somewhat like at the best concerts, the attendees were left chatting.
"Sustainability also comes through optimization of all processes."
"It was a wonderful evening," Giordano Iovine, CEO power2Cloud, enthused, "We thank the Officine Tamborrino family and Scaffsystem.
The stories we collected testify to the commitment and innovation of professionals and organizations in the area that are doing so much here in southern Italy as well. We share this vision, we have always believed in it, which is why we left our headquarters in Naples and opened an office in Palermo as well just a few years ago."
The opportunity was useful to explore sustainability issues related to the optimization of all processes, decision-making, business and marketing.
"We are happy to contribute the work of our team and the ecosystem of cloud solutions we have chosen to the streamlined management of all data and enhancement of all resources.
Technology should be simple and affordable, useful for all organizations, from startups to enterprise, but especially for people, to achieve new goals and take each idea further."
"Sustainability and Training 4.0, an opportunity for companies to grow."
"Data collection and analysis makes any organization more sustainable," explained Gennaro Durante CEO Forethinking , which focuses on sustainability strategy and innovation. "It is a growth opportunity for companies, not just a virtuous system that meets the demand of more sensitive consumers, respecting the planet and also all European regulations. Companies that move in this direction, including complying with European protective treaties, also provide their business with a competitive advantage.
Our goal," confirms Gennaro Durante, "is to rethink products or services from an eco-sustainable perspective, providing analysis of critical environmental aspects of products/services, scientific reports, materials research, marketing analysis, eco-design tools and design thinking programs for the company's competitive challenges.
Tax breaks for sustainability and training 4.0
There are many companies investing today in the implementation of real and sustainable innovation, also taking advantage of funding plans from the European Community and the Italian Ministry of Economic Development.
Preferential channels are for activities aimed at the creation of new products and services, investments in R&D and 4.0 training, in fact are the subject of tax credit benefits."But it is also true," Gennaro Durante then concluded, "that when the investment toward sustainability requires a greater commitment, companies go for the change decisively, aware of the long-term benefits they will also obtain for their own business.
