HERE Technologies and Oracle. Two important technological innovation companies committed to creating solutions and services that help improve the lives of citizens and the business of companies. At the core of their strategies are data, the DNA of any type of digital innovation. Who are the two companies and how do they produce, manage, and use data while respecting security and privacy, and how do these data contribute to creating useful tools even in critical periods and situations, always with a focus on sustainable mobility.

How digital transformation of critical business processes, such as invoicing, management of delivery notes, personnel records, etc., not only increases efficiency and competitiveness of companies, but also significantly contributes to sustainability by reducing paper consumption, enabling collaborative work without the need to travel, and exchanging contractual documents with electronic signatures remotely.

Professors Erik Brynjolfsson and Andrew McAfee of MIT coined the term 'Second Machine Age' in 2014 in their successful book describing the explosion of digital technologies and the significant consequences on global productivity, at least equivalent to the First Industrial Revolution. This led to the spread of technological buzzwords and acronyms with varying degrees of success: AI, IoT, Industry 4.0, Machine Learning, Big Data, ... but what is the core of this digital revolution beyond short-lived technological trends? Technological platforms are the answer, with their ability to democratize technology, spread it, and make it accessible outside the narrow hyper-specialized circles of elite universities and innovation centers. There are many cases like Canoo, Eviation, Lightyear that demonstrate how, thanks to the use of innovative Technological Platforms, small groups of highly motivated serial innovators can intercept new sustainability and resilience themes with unimaginable business models until a few years ago. Let's meet them together in a quick and 'reasoned' overview.

To date, lung cancer is the most common neoplasm and the leading cause of cancer death worldwide. The increasing technical and technological innovations have allowed the development and spread of minimally invasive surgical approaches in the treatment of this neoplasm, ensuring optimal oncological results for the patient with undeniable aesthetic and functional advantages. In particular, the robotic platform, which provides the surgeon with highly technological instrumentation and systems, allows for the minimally invasive execution of even complex procedures.
