The new UNU location will focus on Big Data and Climate Change and will be hosted at the Bologna Technopole together with the Leonardo supercomputer, the ECMWF data centre and many other organizations.
The fourth most powerful computer in the world becomes part of the regional Data Valley based in the “Tecnopolo Manifattura” in Bologna.
Emilia-Romagna qualifies as an international Data Valley boasting top world supercomputers, cutting edge data centres and a wide ‘big data community’ with policies supporting new investments and a dynamic business environment aimed to put Europe on a par with the giants USA and China.
The new ECMWF data centre opens on the site of the Tecnopolo di Bologna and represents a key asset of the regional Data Valley.
The international recruitment campaign promoted by it-ER Careers ends after 6 weeks with the application of 300 young developers of software and IT platforms living abroad, including Italians.
Emilia-Romagna has been present at Expo Dubai with its Regional Day focused on Data Valley and with a mission involving top actors of its advanced mechanical engineering cluster: Clust-ER MECH and Digital District Reggio Emilia, along with the Regional Government and its agency for investment promotion ART-ER.
