Logol brings the audience of Eco-Smart Cities 2021 into the future

Marco Farina, Founder and CEO of Logol, delivers visionary speech

 

Zug, 23 October 2021 – Logol, an innovative Swiss technology solutions provider, shed light on the future of the AI revolution at Eco-Smart Cities 2021, the inaugural thought leadership symposium on digital transformation, environment-friendly lifestyles and sustainable urban development. Marco Farina, the company’s Founder and CEO, addressed the international audience gathered at the event in Genoa and Savona, Italy, on 22-23 October, and took part in the focus sessions organized aboard Costa Smeralda, the fifth largest cruise ship in the world.

 

“As we check the pulse of the digital economy, we can feel an acceleration taking place,” said Marco Farina, Founder and CEO of Logol. “In the five years to come, technology-driven change will become even more disruptive and astonishing. A digitally empowered ecosystem such as the state-of-the-art cruise ship offers a fascinating laboratory to experiment how AI can help to further reduce our environmental impact, improve the living experience and increase inclusiveness within communities and society in general.”

 

“Flagship of the Costa Crociere fleet, part of Carnival Corporation, Costa Smeralda is a veritable floating city in miniature, with 20 decks and up to 6,554 passengers and crew,” illustrated Franco Caraffi, Carnival Corporation’s IT Director. “The ship is at the forefront in the development of sustainable practices in the food, water, energy and waste management sectors and the use of technology to boost efficiency and improve the overall experience of guests.”

 

“On board a cruise ship, enhancing the user experience is paramount,” Marco Farina went on to say. “This should inspire development also in the wider world: as technology is authoritarian, it is up to the solution providers and policy makers to ensure that the highest percentage of users sees their necessities and aspirations met. Fortunately, that same technology that is revolutionizing our world can help us do this. Just like AI chatbots can understand requests expressed in natural language and even identify the personality of a user in order to present information in a way that is more natural to them, AI has the ability to understand the type of user of any device and adjust accordingly.”

 

Entrepreneur and digital transformation expert with a profound knowledge of private and public sector business and IT systems, Marco Farina was recently awarded as MVP (‘Most Valuable Professional’) by Microsoft Corporation for the fifth consecutive year, giving him early access to Microsoft’s latest hardware and software technology and the possibility to connect with the company’s most visionary executives.
