Tuesday 11 October, 11 a.m. – Biblioteca Archimede, Settimo Torinese

The Festival dell’Innovazione e della Scienza is back, in collaboration with the Fondazione Esperienze di Cultura Metropolitana, and organised by the Municipality of Settimo Torinese. The town has close ties with Pirelli for it is home to the Group’s most advanced Industrial Centre, and from 9 to 16 October it will be the arena for the tenth edition of the Festival, which this year is devoted to the digital world.

The Pirelli Foundation will take part in a meeting on the theme of “Pirelli and our future on the roads – Sustainable mobility, innovative tyres and road safety” on Tuesday 11 October at 11 a.m. in the Sala Levi of the Biblioteca Archimede. Using quizzes, videos and virtual tours, the Pirelli Foundation Educational team will help secondary school students find out about the greatest landmarks in the 150-year history of innovation at Pirelli. Thanks to the company’s Micromobility Solutions team, the young people will gain a greater understanding of the transformations that our cities – authentic “smart cities” – have been subjected to with the advent of micromobility services. One example? The Pirelli Cycl-e Around service, a corporate e-bike sharing scheme that is open to any accommodation facility or private community that wishes to invest in environmental sustainability.
