At the heart of an unprecedented technological transformation, the ability to generate shared knowledge is becoming a strategic element in governing innovation. It is within this context that the partnership between IFAB and Orbits 2025 – Dialogues with Intelligence takes shape — the event that, on 19 and 20 November, will turn Milan’s Palazzo del Ghiaccio into a cultural laboratory dedicated to thought and multidisciplinary exchange.
An ecosystem that brings together visions, skills and responsibility
Orbits 2025 presents itself as a cultural experiment built on dialogue: a place where business meets research, education engages with innovation, and ethics becomes an integral part of strategy.
This approach aligns closely with IFAB’s mission, which for years has acted as a bridge between academic research, high-performance computing and the productive ecosystem, offering enterprises access to the cutting-edge infrastructures of the Tecnopolo di Bologna, specialized expertise and a continuous learning platform.
The collaboration with Orbits is rooted in a shared vision: building knowledge as a common good and promoting an approach to innovation that is not only technological, but also cultural, ethical and sustainable.
A network of partners for an inclusive digital transformation
Alongside IFAB, the 2025 edition of Orbits brings together a network of organizations representing the beating heart of Italy’s economic and managerial culture: AcquaVera, JAKALA, AIDP, ANDAF, Federmanager Academy, MANAGERITALIA. A network that contributes to making Orbits a concrete space for exchange, where the centrality of human capital, the value of data and intelligence — both natural and artificial — become strategic levers for guiding the country’s economic and social growth.
Two days to imagine the future
On 19 and 20 November 2025, Orbits will host authoritative voices from research, business and innovation, giving life to conversations that span technology, geopolitics, anthropology, economics and sustainability. For IFAB, participating in Orbits represents a strategic opportunity to contribute to shaping an Italian narrative on intelligence — artificial and human — as a resource for balanced and responsible development.
