This issue was debated by a panel composed of José Valente (AZITEK), Ana Aguiar (FEUP), Pedro Diniz (FEUP), Elisabete Rita (AIDA CCI) and Luís Neves (ENSICO), moderated by Hugo Séneca (Expresso).

FEUP offered a convivial lunch to the participants, after lunch, the session continued in the afternoon, with the intervention of Luís Miguel Silva (TICE.PT) who presented the project “CONNECT5 and the Digitize Mission”.

This was followed by the TECHNOLOGY DEMONSTRATION SESSIONS, in the Laboratory, on the themes of Connectivity (by Ana Aguiar), Cyber-Physical Systems (by Gil Gonçalves) and AI & Data Analytics (by Rosaldo Rossetti).

It was a very rich journey in terms of sharing knowledge related to the proposed theme, with time to scrutinize and debate some fundamental topics of digitalization and, at the same time, "see it happen", through some laboratory demonstrations.
