“It’s been just over a year – it was June 25, 2021 – since the vice president of Amazon’s Global Innovation Policy, Paul Misener, went up to San Marino to sign a memorandum of understanding, thus paving the way for a ‘strategic alliance for innovation and cloud computing services ”.

Thus began a press release from Domani – Motus Liberi. “Strategic alliance especially for our country, not only on the domestic front but also from the international geopolitical point of view. This important memorandum also included pilot projects in ambitions such as the modernization of the government apparatus, services for smart cities, big data, artificial intelligence.
Training, safety and development courses were provided to support start-ups and small and medium-sized enterprises, without excluding further areas of collaboration: our Republic thus took great steps to become a sort of technological hub where to experiment safely and Amazon thus he would have carried the name of the Republic around the world as a virtuous example.

What happened then to an opportunity that could make us a technological laboratory, with significant implications for our companies and for the same occupation at a time that is badly needed? This is a question that we address to the Congress of State, to which we report what is happening in neighboring Italy: the construction of the cloud for the public administration has been assigned to the grouping consisting of Aruba and Fastweb (which uses the cloud technologies of the US giant Amazon – well, yes! – and Microsoft Azure). A well-known are Difesa Servizi and the Ministry for Technological Innovation. It would be a question of guaranteeing a real digitization of the public administration, a concrete service for entrepreneurs and citizens.

TOMORROW – Motus Liberi believes that the Titan could reach this result a year ago, before the others, as a precursor and reference model.
The feeling then is that you want to slow down a winning project only and exclusively because, for some, it is unthinkable that such a step forward could derive from an initiative of the Secretary of State Fabio Righi, expressed by what to date, at least at the moment , is the smallest political force of the majority. If everything is at a standstill, how is it possible for someone to carry out important reforms in the field of innovation? We hope to be proved wrong by the facts and that the agreement with Amazon will be given immediate impetus, otherwise someone will have to explain to the San Marino citizens why we missed yet another train.

Our party has a natural vocation for innovation: it is no coincidence that on several occasions that cannot be postponed and we have now clamored for interventions from digitization to the development of innovative sectors, such as that of the virtual assets of the new digital economy, demonstrating that we have a vision projected towards the future.
However, we believe that the money of the San Marino citizens must be spent in a virtuous way, in understandable and necessary projects: in this sense we ask ourselves if the robot to be used in the surgical field can be included among the most urgent needs. There is fear – we have argued it in the appropriate locations – that we want important projects without having adequate certainty regarding the hospital organization, also aimed at facing a possible flare-up of Covid next autumn, could represent a step in the opposite direction to everyone ‘desired innovation’.
