The need for a new industrial policy in Italy and in Europe has been present for years. Major technological transformations have long been reshaping new scenarios for the manufacturing sector and beyond. Environmental challenges have necessitated accelerating the interventions of a new industrial policy that is a synthesis of environmental policy, innovation policy, and training policy. The coronavirus emergency and the consequent economic damage have accelerated this need. How can we live this acceleration of change constructively? How can Italy and Europe play a leading role in the global scenario by adopting an approach based on skills rather than ideological choices? A synergistic collaboration between Universities, Businesses, and Institutions with mutual listening and a constant investment in the technical and transversal capabilities of the new generations are the only turning points. Let's prepare for the constant change that new technologies impose, using it to place the human being at the center. All of us, more or less young, must emerge victorious by supporting those who are more vulnerable in facing all types of transformations: technological and beyond.

Our new reality began just under three months ago and has changed incredibly, driven by new behavioral models and fear of the virus - social distancing, use of masks, limited mobility. Images of our healthcare system under constant pressure from the effects of the virus are pushing for the conversion of production chains of companies or entire supply chains overwhelmed by the crisis generated by the sudden halt of consumption dictated by our new behaviors. Sectors traditionally prosperous in Italy are no longer so. What have we learned from this revolution? New and old concepts are back in the spotlight: butterfly effect, exponential vs linear phenomena, new ecosystems like the virosphere. But above all, can we change our role as a community by using technology in this new scenario?
