Sustainable innovation

A thesis defended at the University of Padua analyses the theoretical and practical links between 4.0 technologies and sustainable production

Sustainable production and sustainable innovation – a relationship that may be taken for granted, yet not actually so easy to achieve. A relationship that, indeed, needs to be further investigated and analysed in order to be fully understood.

To this end, reading Marco Bettiol’s thesis, defended at the University of Padua, Department of Economic Sciences, proves very useful.

Entitled “Innovazione e tecnologie 4.0: sfide e opportunità per uno sviluppo sostenibile” (“Innovation and 4.0 technologies: challenges and opportunities for sustainable development”), it presents a significant analysis of the current situation, as well as the historical relationship between innovation, 4.0 technologies and sustainable production. In particular, as Bettiol explains, the study “focuses on analysing the relationship between innovation and sustainability” with the aim of “examining how technological innovation could contribute to the promotion of sustainable development”.

The research paper first investigates key innovation concepts and sustainable development goals, before tackling “4.0 technology” and its positive implications for sustainability. Finally, the third section of Bettiol’s study looks at two case-studies concerning two companies from Treviso: Gasparini Industries S.r.l., an engineering company that manufactures hydraulic press brakes and guillotine shears, and Meneghin S.r.l., a company leader in the global market for the planning, construction and assembly of equipment for the professional intensive breeding of rabbits. Two examples amongst many that, however, well illustrate the connections explored in the thesis.

Bettiol’s research provides a fair and square contextualisation of the innovation and sustainability theme, and this is what makes it a valuable read.
