Presenti all’incontro anche i vertici provinciali delle forze di polizia, quelli del Commissariato P.S. di Pescia e delle Compagnie Carabinieri e G.d.F. di Montecatini Terme.

La seduta si è comprensibilmente aperta con un momento di riflessione e confronto su quanto avvenuto a Pescia nelle ultime settimane. Lo scorso 14 agosto, infatti, una ragazza di 20 anni è stata violentata e quasi uccisa per annegamento da un 38enne, adesso in stato di arresto. Un episodio che ha sconvolto tutta la comunità pesciatina e non solo, e che ha portato il Prefetto a convocare l’incontro odierno e ad esprimere solidarietà alla vittima e alla sua famiglia.

Nonostante questo increscioso fatto, però, i dati presentati oggi mostrano un quadro più “tranquillo” e in costante miglioramento. Sul report presentato oggi si legge: “I reati consumati, già sensibilmente diminuiti dal 2024 al 2025, presentano nei primi nove mesi del 2026 un’ulteriore flessione dell’8% rispetto al corrispondente periodo dell’anno scorso; mentre, di converso, risultano in aumento le persone controllate, quelle denunciate a piede libero e quelle arrestate, a conferma di una sempre maggiore efficacia dell’azione di vigilanza e contrasto sul territorio da parte delle forze di polizia”.

Il sindaco di Pescia, Franchi, ha ringraziato le autorità per il confronto e per il loro operato, pur mostrando dubbi e criticità riguardanti alcune zone della città, a detta sua molto complicate e di difficile convivenza tra i residenti e i tanti stranieri presenti, chiedendo più attenzione a chi deve salvaguardare l’ordine pubblico.

Recognition highlights ACTO’s role-based SuperAgents, cross-platform orchestration, and Life Sciences-focused approach to governed agentic AI 

TORONTO and NEW YORK, Oct. 5, 2026 /PRNewswire/ — ACTO, uniting human intelligence with empathetic AI in Life Sciences, today announced that it has been named a Luminary in Everest Group’s Innovation Watch: Agentic AI in Life Sciences Commercial 2026, a global assessment of leading agentic AI technology providers serving commercial teams in the Life Sciences industry. 

The report evaluates 22 providers of agentic AI products and platforms across two dimensions: market performance, which includes scale and maturity, and ecosystem drivers, which includes partnerships and investments. Providers are categorized as Luminaries, Fast Followers, Influencers, or Seekers. ACTO is positioned in the Luminary category, which represents providers with the strongest market performance and ecosystem drivers. 

Everest Group’s research comes as agentic AI emerges as a major enabler of commercial transformation across Life Sciences. The report identifies opportunities spanning sales, marketing, medical affairs, market access, and patient services, as organizations look to agentic AI to improve decision-making, automate work, coordinate actions across systems, and enable more personalized engagement. 

“As life sciences enterprises scale agentic AI across commercial functions, the focus is shifting from isolated AI applications to connected commercial platforms that can connect data, content, and workflows across roles and systems. The value of agentic AI will depend on its ability to coordinate activity across systems and functions while preserving governance, traceability, and human accountability,” said Rohit K, Practice Director at Everest Group, “ACTO differentiates through its role-based approach to agentic AI in life sciences commercial, combining domain-specific SuperAgents with cross-platform orchestration and life sciences-focused governance. Its growing partner ecosystem and early customer deployments further support enterprise adoption, positioning ACTO as a Luminary in Everest Group’s Innovation Watch: Agentic AI in Life Sciences Commercial 2026.” 

ACTO’s inclusion reflects an AI strategy years in the making. The company began investing in AI in 2022 with LAICA, its AI-powered conversational assistant for Life Sciences learning, which evolved into ACTO SuperAgents, launched in 2026. 

“We are thrilled to be named a Luminary by Everest Group, recognized alongside our strategic partners Veeva and Salesforce,” said Parth Khanna, Co-founder and CEO of ACTO. “We began investing in agentic AI in 2022 because we believed AI could fundamentally change how work gets done in Life Sciences, not by replacing people, but by augmenting them. That vision is now a reality. Our customers see tremendous value and impact from role-based SuperAgents that understand the person, the work they do, and the highly regulated environment in which they operate. This recognition reinforces our belief that the future of AI in Life Sciences is not about adding more tools; it’s about creating an intelligent, connected workforce where people and AI work together to achieve better outcomes.” 

Built exclusively for Life Sciences, ACTO combines its AI-powered Field Excellence Platform with role-based SuperAgents that work across systems to deliver compliant, in-the-moment support—from clinical and scientific knowledge retrieval to coaching and field medical insight capture—so customer-facing professionals can spend less time navigating systems and more time strengthening relationships with healthcare professionals.

FIN enables Hyland to integrate with Jack Henry’s SilverLake® and Symitar® Episys® core platforms 

CLEVELAND, Oct. 5, 2026 /PRNewswire/ — Hyland, a global leader in driving enterprise scale content intelligence and automation, today announced that it has joined the Jack Henry Fintech Integration Network (FIN). Participation in the program provides Hyland with access to Jack Henry’s technical resources to support its existing integrations with SilverLake and Symitar Episys. The Fintech Integration Network is designed to help ensure that Jack Henry’s customers can easily deploy third-party products. 

Hyland OnBase, one of the financial services industries most trusted content management platforms, integrates with Jack Henry’s connect core banking data and business context platforms to support day-to-day operations. Through jXchange™ for SilverLake and symXchange™ for Symitar Episys — services-based programming interfaces that enable third-party fintechs and financial institutions to securely access core data and business rules — participating institutions can securely connect core information with OnBase, surface relevant documents in the flow of work, and apply content and process automation to improve employee productivity and service experiences. These integrations maintain data integrity by managing access through a service layer that governs all interactions, ensuring consistent and secure data exchange across platforms. 

“Our customers don’t want another system to manage, they want their existing systems to work better together, and that’s exactly what our OnBase integrations with Jack Henry deliver,” said Namit Saksena, VP of financial services products at Hyland. “Being part of the Fintech Integration Network strengthens our ability to support that goal, ensuring our joint customers can continue to connect core data, content and workflows in one seamless experience.” 

Financial institutions are under pressure to modernize operations without disrupting the core systems employees rely on every day. Many manage content across disconnected systems, forcing employees to switch applications, perform repetitive work, and manually locate documents. These gaps can slow down service, increase operational effort, limit a complete view of customer or member information, and create governance blind spots where content sits outside the compliance and audit controls the institution depends on. 

Hyland’s established Jack Henry integrations help joint customers close that gap, connecting core banking activity with the content and workflows that support lending, member and customer service, operations, and compliance; without introducing another content silo. Rather than creating a separate repository, OnBase serves as a secure content hub that connects information across systems and brings documents and workflow into the context of core banking work, helping employees work more efficiently while continuing to use the familiar Jack Henry applications they rely on today. 

Jack Henry’s FIN takes the customer out of the middle, providing fintechs with direct access to Jack Henry’s technical resources and test systems. FIN inclusion is not an endorsement of the fintech’s product.

Global leaders in medicine, life sciences, technology, finance, and the United Nations unite to move brain health evidence into homes, communities, and health systems: transforming evidence into equity. 

New multisector coalition, coordinated by the Atria Research and Global Health Institute (ARGHI), launches the 30×30×50 Brain Challenge to cut stroke incidence and expand cognitive screening in 30 cities by 2031 

NEW YORK, Oct. 5, 2026 /PRNewswire/ — The International Brain Health Coalition (IBC) launched today, bringing together a multisector, multidisciplinary global community to turn brain health science into equitable, real-world delivery. Its first commitment is the 30×30×50 Brain Challenge: by 2031, 30 cities will work to reduce stroke by 30 percent and increase cognitive screening in primary care by 50 percent. 

Coordinated by the Atria Research and Global Health Institute (ARGHI), the Coalition unites patients, leaders from across sectors, and multilateral institutions, including the United Nations, behind a single mandate: to develop, validate, and scale implementation models for the early detection, intervention, and prevention of cognitive impairment, dementia, and stroke across primary care and community settings globally. Rather than generating new evidence alone, the Coalition focuses on putting what science already knows into programs, policies, and daily habits that reach people where they live, work, and age, not only where they receive care. 

Neurological and cardiometabolic conditions are among the leading causes of ill health and disability worldwide, and their economic toll on families, and health systems is immense and unsustainable. The modifiable risk factors behind stroke and dementia are well established. The science for prevention is clear, what has been missing is the infrastructure to act on it. 

“We are currently facing an incalculable toll on human suffering and an enormous drain on the global economy,” said Dr. David Dodick, Chair of the IBC, Chief Science and Medical Officer at the Atria Health Institute, and Co-Director of the Atria Academy of Science and Medicine. “We have the science to prevent this reality. We don’t have a knowledge gap; we have an execution failure, and IBC was built to close it.” 

Today, IBC collaborators include UN Women; Thrive Global; Western University; the Western Institute for Neuroscience; the AI-Mind Institute (Norway); Eli Lilly and Company; Bristol Myers Squibb; the Royal Bank of Canada; the American Heart Association; the Women’s Alzheimer’s Movement; Microsoft; NeuroCentury; Dr. Regina Benjamin, the 18th United States Surgeon General; Gen. Peter Chiarelli, former Vice Chief of Staff of the United States Army and former CEO of One Mind; Dr. Abdulkareem Al Olama, Founder of Sultan Al Olama Medical Centers (Dubai); and more. 

“Extraordinary progress is happening across brain health, neurological sciences, and policy,” said Khadija Rejto, Vice Chair of IBC and Chair of Global Health at the Atria Research and Global Health Institute. “Cardiovascular, metabolic, and endocrine research is reshaping how we understand the brain. IBC’s role is to connect those efforts and bring brain health into the places where life actually happens, turning shared knowledge into better brain health for all.” 

The IBC’s inaugural project is the 30×30×50 Brain Challenge: 30 global cities pledging a 30% reduction in stroke incidence and a 50% increase in primary-care cognitive screening by 2031, establishing a validated, replicable model that any city, health system, or country can adopt. IBC’s two launch cities are London, Ontario, Canada, and Oslo, Norway. 

London, Ontario, Canada is home to the Coalition’s flagship CanDo Brain Health Implementation Initiative, a two-year trial enrolling up to 800 participants in a scalable AI-and-human coaching model targeting blood pressure, activity, sleep, and other proven drivers of cognitive decline, anchored by the Western Institute for Neuroscience at Western University. 

“Brain health is the foundation of individual and societal well-being, and we have known for decades how to protect it. What we have lacked is a way to deliver that knowledge to entire populations,” said Dr. Vladimir Hachinski of the Western Institute for Neuroscience, Western University. “The International Brain Health Coalition is the first initiative built to do precisely that. It is fitting that this work begins in London, where integral brain health was first defined as a discipline, and it is my hope that what we prove here will benefit every community in the world.” 

Oslo, Norway, anchors the Coalition’s European launch through the AI-Mind research environment at Oslo University Hospital and the University of Oslo, led by Dr. Ira Haraldsen, PhD, MD, together with BrainSymph, combining multimodal AI, cognitive assessment, EEG, blood-based biomarkers, and longitudinal home monitoring to identify individuals at increased risk of cognitive decline before overt dementia develops. 

“The Oslo demonstration will extend this foundation into a practical, scalable model for precision brain health prevention and early intervention, linking population and primary care screening with multimodal risk stratification and personalized follow up, while emerging Virtual Human Twin approaches investigate how brain, cardiovascular, metabolic, inflammatory, and behavioural factors interact over time to reveal modifiable risk trajectories before irreversible neurological disease develops,” said Dr. Ira Haraldsen. 

This pairing of Europe’s most advanced predictive brain health science with a proven translational pathway makes Oslo a powerful demonstration environment for the IBC and creates a direct bridge to major European research, innovation, regulatory, and commercialization programs.

L’Ambito turistico Pistoia e Montagna Pistoiese è infatti uno dei quattro ambiti selezionati tra le 28 comunità di ambito turistico della Toscana. La scelta è arrivata al termine della manifestazione di interesse alla quale ha partecipato il Comune di Pistoia, in qualità di capofila dell’ambito. L’esito della selezione è stato comunicato da Anci Toscana nei giorni scorsi. Il progetto, presentato in occasione del convegno degli ambiti turistici svoltosi a Firenze il 16 luglio, è rivolto in particolare al territorio della Toscana Diffusa e alle destinazioni che non rientrano tra le principali mete interessate dai flussi turistici internazionali organizzati. Nel territorio dell’Ambito Pistoia e Montagna Pistoiese fanno parte della Toscana Diffusa Marliana, Sambuca di Sambuca Pistoiese, Abetone Cutigliano e San Marcello Piteglio, oltre alle aree montane dei comuni di Montale Pistoia.

“Desidero esprimere un sincero ringraziamento ad Anci Toscana e soddisfazione per questo risultato, che premia il lavoro svolto insieme ai comuni del territorio – evidenzia il sindaco di Pistoia Giovanni Capecchi. L’inserimento dell’Ambito Pistoia e Montagna Pistoiese tra le quattro comunità selezionate conferma il valore del nostro progetto sulla Toscana Diffusa. Il turismo è un motore centrale per la crescita economica e sociale della comunità. Mettere in rete il capoluogo con le eccellenze della Montagna – da Marliana a Sambuca Pistoiese, da Abetone Cutigliano a San Marcello Piteglio, fino ai versanti montani di Montale e Pistoia – ci permette di sviluppare un’offerta di qualità, sostenibile e attiva tutto l’anno. L’obiettivo è valorizzare un’accoglienza diffusa, legata all’identità e all’ambiente, lontana dai flussi di massa. Continueremo a lavorare su questa strada insieme ai Comuni partner e agli operatori del settore“.

Olimpia Banci, assessore al Turismo e Strategie di promozione territoriale, ha dichiarato: “Con la selezione del nostro Ambito tra i quattro territori toscani scelti per il progetto pilota “Toscana AI Ready” – opportunità per la quale ringrazio Anci Toscana e Toscana Promozione Turistica – prende concretamente avvio un percorso che riteniamo particolarmente importante per Pistoia e la Montagna Pistoiese. È proprio il coinvolgimento delle strutture uno degli aspetti che considero più significativi. Il progetto non si limita infatti a spiegare che cosa sia l’intelligenza artificiale, ma prevede un percorso molto concreto: analisi della presenza digitale della destinazione, formazione, confronto con gli operatori, supporto per migliorare la visibilità del territorio e, al termine, un assessment con dati misurabili e indicazioni strategiche.

L’obiettivo non è inseguire una tecnologia per essere semplicemente al passo con i tempi, ma capire come utilizzarla per rendere più forte e più visibile la nostra destinazione, mettendo nelle condizioni anche le piccole e medie imprese turistiche di affrontare questo cambiamento. L’OCSE evidenzia proprio il rischio di un divario digitale tra grandi operatori e piccole imprese turistiche e sottolinea l’importanza di accompagnare queste ultime nell’adozione dell’intelligenza artificiale. Il percorso “Toscana AI Ready” rappresenta quindi per il nostro Ambito una concreta occasione di sperimentazione e formazione: di capire come l’intelligenza artificiale possa essere messa al servizio della promozione, della competitività delle imprese e, più in generale, di una gestione sempre più moderna e consapevole della destinazione turistica”.

Il primo appuntamento il 6 ottobre. il progetto prenderà ufficialmente il via per l’ambito Pistoia e Montagna Pistoiese il 6 ottobre con il webinar introduttivo “Il progetto Toscana AI Ready” incontra i territori, rivolto a sindaci, assessori al turismo, dirigenti, funzionari e tecnici dei Comuni appartenenti all’ambito, e affronterà i principali cambiamenti introdotti dall’intelligenza artificiale nel settore turistico. Tra i temi in programma: l’ABC della AI, il passaggio dei motori di ricerca agli assistenti artificiali nella pianificazione dei viaggi, una dimostrazione dal vivo di come l’intelligenza artificiale interpreta il territorio e le strategie per rendere una destinazione più visibile riconoscibile dai motori generativi.

ATLANTA, Oct. 5, 2026 /PRNewswire/ — Housing costs are forcing millions of people around the world into difficult trade-offs, coming at the expense of food, healthcare, financial security and major plans for the future, according to a global research report released today by Habitat for Humanity International. Titled Home at What Cost? and based on nationally representative surveys of 30,000 people across 22 countries, the report reveals that the full cost of housing extends far beyond rent or mortgage payments — it includes what people give up to secure a place to call home. 

Three in 4 survey respondents (75%) say they have cut back on at least one expense in the past year to afford housing costs, with the greatest pressures falling on people already facing greater housing vulnerability, including those living in informal arrangements (89%), lower-income groups (85%) and younger generations — Gen Z and Millennials (81%). The trade-offs reach the essentials, with one-third of respondents (33%) spending less on food, 32% dipping into savings or emergency funds, and 13% delaying or avoiding medical care to afford their homes. 

Despite these sacrifices, many households are still exposed, with nearly half of people globally (48%) saying one unexpected problem could threaten their ability to stay housed. Housing affordability is also forcing compromises on safety, with 40% saying they accept some level of housing risk because safer options are out of reach. Across the board, people lack confidence that solutions are on the horizon, with 56% saying the housing system in their country is broken or does not work. 

“A home should never come at the cost of your health or your future. It should be the foundation of health, opportunity and financial security. Yet more than half of people believe the housing system in their country is broken or simply isn’t working for them,” said Jonathan Reckford, CEO of Habitat for Humanity International. “We cannot accept a future where people have to lower their expectations for what a home should provide. The research shows why we need governments, businesses and communities to work together to create housing systems that help people build a future instead of simply surviving the present.” 

Delayed families, declining well-being The impact of housing costs extends beyond household budgets, affecting people’s well-being today and the futures they hope to build. 

Renters are nearly 1.5 times as likely as homeowners to say their housing situation could negatively affect their health (28% vs. 19%). 

Meanwhile, nearly 9 in 10 respondents globally (89%) say safe, comfortable and reliable housing helps them stay mentally healthy, underlining that housing is not simply a financial issue but one that increasingly shapes people’s well-being, resilience, and ability to care for themselves and their families. 

Housing safety also is increasingly impacted by climate change, with nearly a third of people (30%) expecting extreme weather to make living where they are harder over the next three years, while 18% say their home does not protect them from extreme weather such as heat, cold or flooding. 

Governments, private-sector businesses, civil society and individuals all have a role to play in ensuring people can access housing that expands opportunity rather than limiting it. Habitat for Humanity is calling on governments to move from housing promises to housing pathways through political commitment and investment; on businesses to expand and innovate housing finance opportunities; on peers and partners to turn evidence into action by urging policy change, financing and accountability; and on individuals and communities to use their voices, skills and networks to help drive lasting housing solutions. 

The report includes a more detailed breakdown of these findings, including country and demographic insights. To find out more about the report or Habitat for Humanity International, visit habitat.org/HomeAtWhatCost. 

Methodology The nationally representative survey was conducted between April 10 and June 30, 2026, across 22 countries, with the views of 30,758 people. The research was conducted across countries, including Argentina, Australia, Barbados, Brazil, Canada, Côte d’Ivoire, Egypt, Ethiopia, Guatemala, Indonesia, Ireland, Kenya, Mexico, Nepal, Nigeria, Poland, South Africa, South Korea, Trinidad and Tobago, Turkey, the United Kingdom, and the United States. This report is based on original public opinion research commissioned by Habitat for Humanity International to better understand how people experience housing in their daily lives. The research was designed to complement existing housing data by moving beyond system-level indicators and capturing how housing affects people’s sense of safety, affordability, stability, dignity, health, opportunity and community. 

About Habitat for Humanity Habitat for Humanity is a movement of people in your local area and around the world, working together to build more prosperous and vibrant communities by making sure everyone has a safe, affordable place to call home. Since our founding in 1976 as a Christian organization, together we have helped more than 65 million people globally build their futures on their own terms through access to decent housing. We’ve done that by working alongside people of all walks of life to build, repair and finance their homes, by innovating new ways of building and financing, and by advocating for policies that make constructing and accessing housing easier for everyone. Together, we build homes, communities and hope. To learn more, visit habitat.org

The technology startup enables people and institutions to protect, license and receive compensation for their data, work and likeness — connecting them with the growing demand for real-world human data across AI, research and media. 

WILMINGTON, Del., Oct. 5, 2026 /PRNewswire/ — SignSplit PBC, a fast-growing technology company that enables people and institutions to protect, license and contribute their data, work and likeness, today emerged from stealth with a $400 million strategic seed round secured with W Group, the global fintech and technology ecosystem serving more than 40 million users. The financing commitment, which values SignSplit at $1 billion, combines capital with a multi-year package of strategic resources to support SignSplit’s global rollout. 

The next generation of AI will increasingly depend on real-world human data, knowledge, creativity and experience across fields ranging from advanced models and robotics to science, healthcare, media and entertainment. SignSplit enables people and institutions to proactively participate in that future by protecting, licensing and contributing their data, work and likeness with consent, clear provenance and defined terms. SignSplit calls this “signed data.” 

Through SignSplit, AI and robotics companies, researchers and other organizations can access data and research pools built around specific needs, while contributors provide real-world data, knowledge and skills and receive compensation for their participation. SignSplit also includes a verification layer for data, work and likeness, designed to enable AI systems, social media platforms and other digital services to identify signed content and access its associated provenance, consent and terms. 

“SignSplit provides solutions for a world where the boundary between human experience and technology is becoming increasingly fluid,” said Alessandro Monterosso, Co-Founder and CEO of SignSplit. “As AI reaches further into the real world, human knowledge, creativity, skills and identity will become increasingly connected to how technology evolves and interacts with the world around us. We believe SignSplit and the use of signed data can become the bridge between the two, connecting human contribution with protection, participation and compensation as technology advances.” 

“SignSplit brings a new standard for the use of individuals’ and institutions’ data, work and likenesses,” said Volodymyr Nosov, Founder and President of W Group. “We believe that every serious participant in AI and the data economy will come to rely on SignSplit’s infrastructure. The scale of our commitment reflects both how early we believe we are, and how important we believe these solutions are for every industry that relies on human data.” 

SignSplit was founded in 2024 by Glib Denisov, Co-Founder, Executive Chairman and Chief Product Officer. “When we started SignSplit in 2024, we were building for where we believed AI was going, not where it was at the time,” said Glib Denisov. “We saw that the next generation of AI would need more than additional data — it would need higher-quality, real-world data with clear provenance, permission and rights attached to it.” 

About SignSplit 

SignSplit PBC is a technology company building the infrastructure for the signed-data economy. Founded in 2024 and incorporated as a Delaware Public Benefit Corporation, SignSplit connects people and institutions with AI and robotics companies, researchers and media platforms through its signed-data platform.

Milano, 5 ottobre 2026. La decisione di chiudere una partita IVA arriva solitamente al termine di un periodo in cui l’attività autonoma ha smesso di reggersi da sola, perché il fatturato si è assottigliato oppure perché un contratto da dipendente ha spostato altrove tempo ed energie.  

In molti casi viene rimandata per mesi nella convinzione che lasciarla aperta non costi nulla. La normativa fiscale e previdenziale segue però un’altra strada, dal momento che una posizione attiva continua a generare adempimenti e contributi anche quando le fatture non arrivano più. 

Il primo segnale da non trascurare riguarda il rapporto tra ricavi e
costi fissi. Artigiani e commercianti iscritti all’INPS versano i contributi minimi a prescindere dal reddito prodotto. Per il 2026 il minimale è fissato a 18.808 euro, con un contributo annuo ordinario di circa 4.521 euro per gli artigiani e 4.611 euro per i commercianti (fatte salve le riduzioni previste per alcune categorie, come i forfettari che hanno aderito al regime contributivo agevolato).  

Nella Gestione separata, al contrario, i contributi sono calcolati sul reddito professionale dichiarato, e il peso di una posizione ferma si sente meno. A queste somme si aggiungono l’onorario del commercialista e, per le imprese, il diritto camerale annuale. 

Un altro caso frequente riguarda il passaggio al lavoro dipendente, compatibile con il regime forfettario entro una soglia precisa. Il limite si verifica sui redditi da lavoro dipendente e assimilati percepiti nell’anno precedente, e la causa ostativa opera in linea generale dall’anno successivo.  

La Legge di bilancio 2026 ha confermato la soglia di 35.000 euro anche per quest’anno, ma in assenza di nuove proroghe il superamento dei 30.000 euro nel 2026 potrebbe impedire l’applicazione del forfettario nel 2027, a meno che il rapporto di lavoro dipendente non sia nel frattempo cessato. 

Il percorso cambia in base alla forma dell’attività. Il professionista senza iscrizione al Registro delle imprese o al REA presenta all’Agenzia delle Entrate il modello AA9/12 entro trenta giorni dalla cessazione, in autonomia attraverso i servizi telematici oppure tramite un intermediario. 

Per la ditta individuale la procedura passa invece dalla Comunicazione Unica, che coordina la cancellazione dal Registro delle imprese con gli adempimenti verso gli altri enti, tra cui Agenzia delle Entrate e INPS.  

Le attività soggette a titoli amministrativi comunali devono inoltre inviare al SUAP la comunicazione di cessazione, quando la disciplina del settore o le regole del Comune la prevedono. 

Sul piano economico la chiusura di una partita IVA individuale resta un’operazione dal costo contenuto, soprattutto se confrontata con lo scioglimento di una società (dove notaio, liquidatore e bilancio finale incidono in modo ben diverso). L’invio diretto del modello AA9/12 è gratuito, mentre l’onorario del commercialista viene concordato liberamente. Per la ditta individuale entrano in gioco anche diritti di segreteria, imposta di bollo e costi della pratica camerale. 

Le voci meno visibili sono quelle legate alle scadenze già maturate: 

Prima di chiedere un preventivo al proprio consulente, è utile capire quanto costa chiudere la partita IVA, in base alla propria forma giuridica: nella guida dedicata trovi un confronto dettagliato delle spese, con gli importi aggiornati. 

La cessazione non cancella gli obblighi dichiarativi relativi all’anno in cui l’attività è stata esercitata. Il contribuente presenterà la dichiarazione dei redditi l’anno successivo, secondo il criterio applicabile alla propria attività (per il lavoro autonomo vale in genere il principio di cassa). In regime IVA ordinario occorre poi verificare la dichiarazione IVA relativa al periodo d’imposta interessato, che deve comprendere le operazioni effettuate fino alla cessazione, insieme agli eventuali adempimenti finali. I forfettari, invece, non presentano la dichiarazione IVA annuale per le operazioni svolte nel regime. 

Un aspetto delicato riguarda i compensi ancora aperti. L’Agenzia delle Entrate ha chiarito che il professionista non può chiudere la partita IVA quando restano da fatturare corrispettivi per prestazioni già rese. Una fattura già emessa e non ancora pagata non impedisce di per sé la cessazione, anche se restano da gestire gli adempimenti collegati al documento e alla sua riscossione, e una verifica con il consulente prima della comunicazione evita di dover riaprire la pratica. 

La scelta della data incide sul conto finale più di quanto si immagini. Una cancellazione perfezionata entro il
31 dicembre evita di norma il diritto camerale dell’anno seguente, mentre una chiusura a inizio anno obbliga a sostenere una serie di adempimenti per un periodo di attività molto breve. 

Lasciare aperta una partita IVA inattiva nell’attesa di una chiusura automatica, d’altra parte, non è una buona strategia. In presenza dei presupposti di legge l’Agenzia delle Entrate può procedere alla cessazione d’ufficio, previa comunicazione al contribuente, ma la procedura non sostituisce una corretta comunicazione di cessazione né cancella gli obblighi fiscali o previdenziali già maturati.  

Una valutazione fatta con qualche mese di anticipo, magari insieme al proprio commercialista, trasforma così la chiusura da incombenza rimandata a decisione ragionata, con costi prevedibili e nessuna sorpresa nella dichiarazione successiva.

BANGKOK, THAILAND – Media OutReach Newswire – 5 October 2026 – The Long-Term Resident (LTR) visa has attracted 12,010 high-potential foreigners to Thailand in four years, generating approximately USD 1.28 billion (THB 43 billion) in economic value, according to the Board of Investment (BOI). The visa is a key mechanism for attracting executives and highly skilled personnel for future industries while increasing purchasing power and stimulating domestic spending and economic activity. A new online system now links services from four government agencies in an integrated process. 

Introduced in September 2022 to attract high-potential foreigners to reside and conduct economic activities in Thailand, the LTR visa program has generated an average economic value of more than USD 107,000 (THB 3.6 million) per recipient, according to BOI data. The calculation covers visa fees, spending in Thailand by visa holders, direct investment, and tax revenue from highly skilled professionals. 

Amid intensifying global competition for highly skilled personnel, the LTR visa is an important mechanism for bringing global talent into Thailand. This is particularly relevant as the country prepares for a new wave of investment in advanced-technology industries, including semiconductors and advanced electronics, digital technology and AI, humanoid robotics, aviation, and biotechnology. 

“The LTR visa is a strategic pillar to attract global talent as Thailand absorbs a new wave of advanced technology investments,” said Narit Therdsteerasukdi, Secretary General of the Board of Investment. “Drawing top-tier executives and technical specialists from around the world is vital to strengthening our national competitiveness and securing technology transfers from international partners.” 

Approved LTR visa recipients primarily come from leading economies. The United States accounts for the largest group, with more than 2,400 approvals, followed by Japan with more than 1,300 and the United Kingdom with more than 1,000. Japanese nationals comprise a notable share of the specialist bracket, aligning with Japan’s heavy footprint in Thailand’s automotive and precision-electronics supply networks. 

The 12,010 approved LTR visa recipients fall into five categories: 1,779 Highly-Skilled Professionals; 1,043 Work-from-Thailand Professionals, who work from Thailand for overseas employers; 737 Wealthy Global Citizens; 4,561 Wealthy Pensioners; and 3,891 Dependents of recipients in the first four categories. 

Among recipients in the Highly-Skilled Professionals and Work-from-Thailand Professionals categories, 54% hold executive-level positions and 36% are professionals in various fields; the remainder are at the technical level. Applicants in each category must meet specific criteria, such as requirements relating to assets, income, investment evidence, work experience, and health insurance, and undergo rigorous checks by the relevant agencies. 

To handle rising application volumes and remove long-standing administrative bottlenecks, the BOI rolled out an integrated digital processing portal in September 2026. The platform centralizes review procedures across four primary state bodies: the Department of Consular Affairs, the Immigration Bureau, the Department of Employment, and the Revenue Department. 

Complementing the portal, the Thailand Investment and Expat Services Center (TIESC), a one-stop service center, is located on floors 6-7 of the Parade Zone at One Bangkok. “The center is intended to strengthen Thailand’s competitiveness in continuously attracting high-potential talent from around the world,” said Mr. Narit. 

In addition to attracting foreign talent through the LTR visa, BOI also facilitates visas and work permits for executives and personnel working in BOI-promoted businesses through the BOI Visa, and offers the Smart Visa for startups. BOI also supports the skills development of Thai personnel through the Skill Bridge measure, and helps Thai entrepreneurs adopt modern technology to enhance their competitiveness through the Business Transformation measure. These measures work hand in hand to attract international experts, develop Thai personnel, and upgrade Thai businesses, strengthening Thailand’s readiness for the transition to a new economy driven by technology and innovation. 

Note: Currency conversions are based on the Bank of Thailand’s average selling rate of approximately 1 USD = 33.6 THB.

Si è conclusa la sesta giornata del campionato di Serie D per le squadre toscane appartenenti ai gironi D ed E.

Girone D

Davide Caruso

Il programma ha preso il via nei giorni scorsi con l'”Incontro con un burattinaio” alla biblioteca di Monsummano Terme, per poi proseguire a Lamporecchio con la narrazione “Pipì. O lo scimmiottino color di rosa”. I prossimi appuntamenti sono in programma martedì 6 ottobre, alle 17, sempre a Lamporecchio, con “Incontro con un burattinaio”, rivolto a bambine e bambini dai 3 anni, e mercoledì 7 ottobre, alle 16.30, a Buggiano, con “Pinocchio va in scena”, per bambine e bambini dai 6 ai 10 anni. La rassegna proseguirà con un ricco calendario di appuntamenti per tutto ottobre e novembre, per poi entrare nella fase conclusiva a dicembre, con iniziative alla Biblioteca San Giorgio di Pistoia, a Buggiano e a Montecatini Terme. L’ultimo appuntamento sarà lo spettacolo aperto a tutti in programma sabato 26 dicembre nella sala consiliare “Vincenzo Nardi” del Castello Villa Smilea di Montale.

L’offerta culturale propone un’ampia varietà di attività pensate per le diverse fasce d’età, rivolte a bambine e bambini, ragazze e ragazzi fino ai 13 anni e alle loro famiglie.

Per i più piccoli, dai 3 ai 6 anni, sono in programma letture animate con il teatrino giapponese Kamishibai, incontri con i burattinai e primi laboratori di espressione corporea. Per la fascia 5-11 anni, invece, il calendario propone laboratori creativi per costruire burattini con materiali di riciclo o realizzare il “magico naso” di Pinocchio, insieme a percorsi che combinano drammatizzazione, yoga e mindfulness, con la Fata Turchina come guida, oltre ai tradizionali spettacoli di marionette in legno.

Per i più grandi, dai 10 ai 13 anni, sono stati pensati percorsi specifici come “Processo a Pinocchio”, un’attività interattiva nella quale ragazze e ragazzi potranno assumere i ruoli di giudici, avvocati e testimoni, e laboratori di riscrittura in chiave contemporanea dedicati a temi vicini alla loro esperienza, dai social media ai videogiochi, fino all’identità online.

Le attività sono curate da realtà e professionisti del territorio, tra cui l’associazione Senza Fili APS, Boemondo APS, la counselor Barbara Noci, la storica compagnia dei Pupi di Stac, l’artista Nico Fedi e l’educatrice Silvia Todesca.

I numerosi appuntamenti coinvolgeranno in maniera capillare le biblioteche della rete REDOP della provincia, interessando i comuni di Agliana, Buggiano, Lamporecchio, Monsummano Terme, Montale, Montecatini Terme, Pistoia con la Biblioteca San Giorgio, Ponte Buggianese, San Marcello Piteglio e Serravalle Pistoiese. L’obiettivo del progetto è diffondere su tutto il territorio pistoiese un’esperienza culturale partecipata, proprio partendo dai luoghi in cui il celebre burattino è nato e ha iniziato il suo viaggio. La ricorrenza dei duecento anni dalla nascita dell’autore diventa così un’occasione speciale per riscoprire la straordinaria attualità di Pinocchio: un personaggio estremamente vicino ai più piccoli, che affronta le tentazioni, il desiderio di libertà, le manipolazioni – come gli inganni del Gatto e della Volpe o l’illusione del Paese dei Balocchi – e il faticoso percorso di crescita verso la responsabilità e la consapevolezza.

Tutti gli eventi sono a ingresso gratuito, con prenotazione obbligatoria alla biblioteca che ospita l’iniziativa, fino a esaurimento dei posti disponibili. Per informazioni, modalità di iscrizione e prenotazioni è possibile rivolgersi direttamente alle singole biblioteche aderenti alla rete REDOP, attraverso i relativi canali e recapiti.

Il programma completo è disponibile sul sito di Pistoia Capitale Italiana del Libro 2026 al link https://pistoiacapitaledellibro2026.it/event/in-biblioteca-con-pinocchio

Il Gruppo EGS Pistoia Hockey conquista i suoi primi tre punti superando con un ottimo 3-1 il CUS Genova. Una gara partita subito a favore degli arancioni, bravi a sbloccare il risultato nel giro di appena due minuti grazie alla rete di Giusti, prima di trovare il raddoppio firmato da Biondi sulla ribattuta di un corner corto. L’andamento della sfida è proseguito su binari abbastanza lineari, lasciando pochissime occasioni alla formazione ligure, fatta eccezione per un gol inaspettato nato da una disattenzione generale che ha portato il punteggio sul 2-1. Verso il finale di partita ci ha pensato poi Marcos Juaristi a mettere il sigillo definitivo con il gol del 3-1. Una gara che regala tanto morale, fiducia e spunti su cui continuare a lavorare, confermando quanto di buono espresso sul terreno di gioco. Con questo successo gli arancioni si portano al secondo posto in classifica, a pari merito con il Savona e subito dietro all’HC Genova 1980, avversario che sfideranno la prossima settimana.

Esito differente ma prova di grande sacrificio per la Del Pinto e Associati Pistoia Hockey, che cede per 3-2 nel derby contro il CUS Pisa. È stata una partita complessa per le arancioni, costrette a lottare per l’intero incontro in inferiorità numerica e a fare i conti con qualche acciacco fisico, mostrando comunque un carattere straordinario. Il match si è sviluppato in un continuo batti e ribatti tra le due formazioni che non si sono risparmiate, ma alla fine ha avuto la meglio la squadra pisana. C’è sicuramente del lavoro da fare, ma nel gruppo resta la piena consapevolezza di aver firmato una prestazione degna di nota nonostante le condizioni critiche in cui si trovava. La classifica vede ora le arancioni all’ultimo posto a quota 0 punti, all’inseguimento di Bologna e Pisa appaiate a 3.

L’appuntamento, organizzato in occasione di F@Mu 12+, la Giornata nazionale delle famiglie al museo, arricchisce un progetto pensato per offrire ai più giovani nuovi e stimolanti motivi di visita, favorendo un rapporto diretto, curioso e partecipato con il patrimonio culturale.

“Museo libera tutt!” si sviluppa attraverso un kit educativo realizzato in una versione specifica per ciascun museo aderente al SIMUP, così da valorizzare le caratteristiche, le collezioni e i temi propri di ogni realtà museale.

Il kit viene consegnato gratuitamente alla reception ai bambini al momento della visita. È contenuto in una borsa e comprende un Quaderno delle Attività, pensato per guidare i giovani visitatori nell’esplorazione del museo attraverso giochi, osservazioni e confronti con le opere e gli oggetti esposti. L’obiettivo è favorire un approccio al patrimonio al tempo stesso conoscitivo ed emozionale, coinvolgendo bambini e accompagnatori adulti in un’esperienza condivisa.

Al termine della visita, la borsa viene riconsegnata in reception e il bambino riceve il proprio passaporto SIMUP, sul quale ogni museo visitato appone un timbro caratterizzato da un simbolo distintivo. Non è previsto un ordine obbligato delle visite: ogni famiglia può scegliere liberamente il proprio percorso, costruendo nel tempo un itinerario alla scoperta dei musei del Sistema Museale Pistoiese.

Domenica 11 ottobre, con un’apertura straordinaria dalle ore 9.00 alle ore 12.00, al Museo della Città e del Territorio di Monsummano Terme, sarà possibile, per i visitatori grandi e piccini, provare il kit dedicato alla realtà museale monsummanese. Le attività accompagneranno i bambini alla scoperta di alcuni dei temi che caratterizzano il museo: gli antichi borghi fortificati, le attività del Padule di Fucecchio, gli arredi sacri del Tesoro di Maria Santissima della Fontenuova, il settore calzaturiero e il termalismo.

La proposta educativa “Museo libera tutt!” è disponibile anche negli altri musei del Sistema Museale Pistoiese aderenti al progetto: Museo Civico d’arte antica in Palazzo Comunale a Pistoia, Gipsoteca Libero Andreotti a Pescia, Palazzo de’ Rossi | Collezioni del Novecento a Pistoia e Museo della Carta a Pescia.

Con questa nuova proposta, il Sistema Museale Pistoiese rafforza l’attenzione verso il pubblico delle famiglie e propone un modo diverso di vivere il museo: non soltanto come luogo da visitare, ma come spazio nel quale osservare, giocare, fare domande, confrontarsi e costruire un rapporto personale con il patrimonio.

Il progetto “Museo libera tutt!” è realizzato dal Sistema Museale Pistoiese – SIMUP con il contributo della Regione Toscana, nell’ambito del Bando Sistemi Museali 2025.

La Regione Toscana e le istituzioni accademiche del territorio lanciano Ponte, un nuovo piano di orientamento strutturato per accompagnare gli studenti delle scuole superiori verso la scelta universitaria. L’iniziativa, finanziata attraverso il programma europeo Fse+ 2021/2027, è stata illustrata a Firenze all’interno del rettorato dell’Università degli Studi.

Il progetto, il cui acronimo sta per Percorsi di Orientamento e Networking per Transizioni Educative consapevoli, sarà coordinato dal Centro Studi Pluriversum e vedrà la partecipazione congiunta degli atenei di Firenze, Pisa, Siena e dell’Università per Stranieri di Siena. L’obiettivo, spalmato su 28 mesi di attività, è coinvolgere circa 25.000 alunni del triennio finale delle scuole secondarie di secondo grado.

La strategia mira a incrementare le immatricolazioni concentrando gli sforzi nelle aree in cui il passaggio dalla scuola all’università registra tassi storicamente più bassi. Per questo motivo, il 35% delle attività sarà riservato agli istituti tecnici e professionali, con un’attenzione geografica specifica rivolta alle province più distanti dai grandi poli universitari, ovvero Arezzo, Grosseto, Massa-Carrara, Pistoia e Livorno.

L’impianto operativo si muove su tre direttrici. La prima prevede l’organizzazione di laboratori in classe della durata minima di sei ore, calibrati in base all’età degli iscritti: le terze affronteranno percorsi di autoconsapevolezza, le quarte esploreranno il mondo del lavoro e le quinte si concentreranno sull’offerta post-diploma e sui servizi per il diritto allo studio. La seconda linea di intervento si rivolge ai docenti, con l’obiettivo di formare 250 insegnanti sulle metodologie orientative e la didattica inclusiva. La terza fase punta infine a coinvolgere le comunità locali attraverso incontri nei comuni periferici, webinar e giornate negli atenei aperte anche alle famiglie. Il sistema sarà supportato da Guia, un chatbot sviluppato da Pluriversum per fornire agli studenti risposte immediate su corsi, tasse e procedure di ammissione.

La volontà di arginare le disparità territoriali ed economiche è stata evidenziata dall’assessora regionale a Università e ricerca, Cristina Manetti: “Vogliamo offrire alle ragazze e ai ragazzi della Toscana gli strumenti per scegliere con maggiore consapevolezza il proprio futuro, facendo in modo che la possibilità di proseguire gli studi non dipenda dal luogo in cui si vive, dalla scuola frequentata o dalle condizioni economiche della famiglia”.

Una linea condivisa dalle rappresentanze accademiche presenti all’incontro. I delegati all’orientamento Ersilia Menesini (Firenze), Laura Marcucci (Pisa), Federico Pulselli (Siena) e Agnese Fusaro (Stranieri di Siena) hanno ribadito la necessità di superare i confini cittadini per portare l’università direttamente sui territori, mettendo a sistema le competenze dei quattro atenei per accompagnare i giovani verso scelte informate e consapevoli.

REDAZIONE

SHENZHEN, CHINA – Media OutReach Newswire – 3 October 2026 – Huawei hosted an international media roundtable today featuring Richard Yu, Executive Director, Chairman of the Investment Review Board, and Chairman of the Board of Directors of the Consumer BG. Yu shared comprehensive insights into Huawei’s consumer business and HarmonyOS ecosystem. 

Richard Yu joined Huawei in 1993, working on early developments like the first-generation program-controlled switch and participating in the establishment of Huawei’s wireless communications business, which started with GSM. Over the past decade, Yu has led Huawei’s consumer business with the vision to deliver a seamless AI life experience to all consumers across five key scenarios: HIMA-powered Smart Travel, HarmonyOS Office, Smart Home, Fitness & Health, and Entertainment, which he said is also the long-term strategy for Huawei’s consumer business over the next 10 years. 

Between 2007 and 2025, Huawei invested more than CNY1.8 trillion into R&D shifting from roughly 10% of annual revenue in early years to over 20% recently. Huawei has continued to increase investment into the core technologies of the ICT domain and basic research, which has translated into robust core capabilities, extensive intellectual property, and a vast patent portfolio, and helped with achieving a series of breakthroughs in technological innovation. 

The Mate 90 series smartphones Huawei just launched come with the latest Kirin 9050 Pro chip. The overall device performance is 31% higher than the previous generation. The Balong modem, image sensor processor (ISP), mobile security processor (MSP), Lingxi CPU, Maleoon GPU, and the NPU that adopts Huawei’s Da Vinci architecture for AI processing are all designed by Huawei. They offer higher energy efficiency and deliver much-improved overall system-level performance. 

Even though Yu admitted that Huawei has limited access to advanced semiconductor processes, Huawei recently made a new breakthrough in the semiconductor domain – the LogicFolding technology under the Tau Scaling Law. Unveiled by He Tingbo, head of Huawei’s Semiconductor Business Department this May, this technology vertically stacks the logic layers of chips and restructures the circuit layout through inter-layer high-density interconnect to shorten critical paths and reduce latency. This technology was adopted on Kirin 9050 Pro chip, which shows very strong AI processing power. The Mate 90 series powered by this chip can run a 30B MoE on-device AI model. 

In the AI domain, Yu talked about the Ascend compute foundation that Huawei provides, by remarking Huawei’s large models called openPangu, AI capabilities for intelligent driving, and HarmonyOS Celia, which is similar to Gemini in the Google Android ecosystem. Huawei is also using AI to improve the O&M of communications network equipment. By combining AI computing power with domestic open-source large models, Huawei’s vision is to help enterprises and industries around the world to become more productive and bringing more convenience to everyone. 

In the past years, Huawei has launched a broad series of products and solutions, including smartphones, PCs, tablets, wearables, TWS audio products, Smart TVs, home routers, smart home control solutions, as well as intelligent electric vehicles together with partners. Underlying these products and solutions are Huawei’s chip hardware platform and HarmonyOS – another OS ecosystem after iOS from Apple and Android from Google that Huawei developed to support all the smart devices and smart hardware across all scenarios. 

Development of HarmonyOS began in 2019. Before that, Huawei was a major contributor to the Android community as well as the entire Android ecosystem. Now, more than 90 million devices, including smartphones, PCs, and tablets, currently run on HarmonyOS 6 and HarmonyOS 7. This figure is expected to hit the 100 million mark by the end of this year. The number of apps and services in the HarmonyOS ecosystem has already exceeded 450,000. Its global registered developer count has reached 11 million, and Huawei now has over 23,000 app innovation partners. Expressing his special thanks to all partners and developers for their trust and support, Yu also pointed out that Huawei is considering gradually bringing HarmonyOS to the global market in the future. 

Globalization is another topic of the conversation. Yu mentioned that Huawei had very good collaboration with many companies from the US, Europe, Japan, South Korea, and Taiwan, delivering huge business value and benefits to those partners. When it comes to the difficulties that Huawei overcame since 2019, Yu said that relying on homegrown technologies and capabilities, Huawei gradually designed its own operating system and developed basic tools and software by themselves, putting a domestic supply chain in place. In 2023, Huawei started to manufacture the chips used by smartphones domestically again. With these chips and HarmonyOS, and by relying on China’s domestic supply chain, materials, and process nodes, Huawei has basically gotten rid of the dependence on US technologies. 

While Huawei’s global market share was once No. 1, nowadays it only sells several million units of smartphones outside China every year. However, Yu revealed that Huawei is trying to return to the overseas market step by step. 

Taking wearables as an example, Huawei is No. 1 in terms of the market share both in China and globally. Other innovative products such as TWS earphones, are also growing fast and have reached No. 1 in many countries. While Huawei’s tablet and PC business was greatly affected after it was denied access to Windows and Intel x86 chips, the HarmonyOS-based tablets are now performing strongly. Another example would be CPE, which is a mobile router that provides connectivity to the unconnected in remote and rural areas. These products are also very well received across many regions outside China, helping more people connect to the rest of the world and live better lives. 

Question: Both the Huawei XT 2 and the two most advanced models of the Mate 90 series use a LogicFolding chip. Will LogicFolding chips be used for more phones in the future? We understand that Huawei’s chip production capacity is still limited. Huawei has launched SuperPoDs, and AI infrastructure is a huge business. They are both very important in China. How do you secure a larger share of the chip supply internally?
 

Richard Yu: We started introducing the chip that adopts the LogicFolding technology powered by the Tau Scaling Law to the Mate XT 2 tri-fold phone. To answer your question, yes, more of our phones will definitely use these LogicFolding chips in the future. 

Currently, the production capacity for advanced semiconductors in China still cannot meet the rapidly growing demand. Huawei’s Ascend chips for the AI domain also use such capacity. But we have developed a requirement plan, which also covers the chip requirements of smartphones. 

The sharp price increase for memory components over the past two years has somewhat limited the smartphone sales volume. Even though the production capacity remains tight right now, generally it is sufficient to meet our market shipment needs. 

We hope that production capacity will ramp up in China’s semiconductor industry so that we can manufacture more advanced products for consumers in the Chinese market as well as the overseas market in the future.

ioki ha costituito una propria società negli Stati Uniti e sta creando un team locale • L’ingresso nel mercato statunitense rappresenta il primo passo concreto della strategia di crescita internazionale • Primo cliente di ioki negli Stati Uniti: servizio di trasporto a richiesta per la Georgetown University di Washington, D.C. 

FRANCOFORTE SUL MENO, Germania, 2 ottobre 2026 /PRNewswire/ — ioki, fornitore europeo di software per la digitalizzazione del trasporto pubblico, si espande negli Stati Uniti. L’azienda con sede a Francoforte ha acquisito come primo cliente negli Stati Uniti la Georgetown University di Washington, D.C. A partire da ottobre, l’università utilizzerà la piattaforma ioki per il suo nuovo servizio navetta a richiesta. 

ioki punta a promuovere forme di trasporto pubblico personalizzato nel mercato statunitense, fortemente incentrato sull’uso dell’automobile, combinando la simulazione della mobilità con soluzioni digitali per il trasporto pubblico. Come in Europa, ioki si rivolge principalmente alle autorità del trasporto pubblico che intendono automatizzare i propri servizi e ampliarli in modo economicamente sostenibile. A tale scopo, l’azienda ha costituito una propria società controllata negli Stati Uniti e sta creando un team locale, con l’obiettivo di offrire nel lungo periodo i propri prodotti per il trasporto pubblico sul mercato statunitense. 

Il dott. Michael Barillère-Scholz, cofondatore e Amministratore delegato di ioki, ha dichiarato: «L’idea di ioki è nata durante una visita negli Stati Uniti. Siamo nati e cresciuti in Germania e oggi ioki è attiva in tutta Europa. Ora torniamo negli Stati Uniti e avviamo il nostro primo progetto nel Paese con la Georgetown University. L’ingresso in questo nuovo mercato dimostra che la nostra piattaforma funziona anche al di fuori dell’Europa e si adatta alle diverse condizioni locali della mobilità. Vediamo una chiara opportunità per aiutare le città e gli operatori del trasporto pubblico negli Stati Uniti a rendere il trasporto pubblico personalizzato più digitale e, soprattutto, più efficiente». 

Tobias Liebelt, Amministratore delegato di BENTELER Mobility, ha dichiarato: «Quando BENTELER ha acquisito ioki all’inizio di quest’anno, abbiamo indicato il potenziale di crescita internazionale come una delle principali prospettive. Con l’ingresso nel mercato statunitense stiamo ora dando seguito a questo impegno. Per noi, ioki rappresenta un elemento centrale della nostra strategia volta ad aiutare città e operatori a integrare la mobilità autonoma in modo economicamente sostenibile». 

Il trasporto pubblico in Europa e negli Stati Uniti affronta sfide analoghe 

Negli Stati Uniti, le autorità e gli operatori del trasporto pubblico si trovano ad affrontare le stesse questioni dell’Europa: come può un servizio rimanere economicamente sostenibile quando terminano i programmi di finanziamento e aumenta la pressione sui costi? È in questo ambito che entrano in gioco le competenze di ioki nella pianificazione dei trasporti basata sui dati e nella simulazione della mobilità, insieme alla sua piattaforma software per i servizi a richiesta e di linea. Nell’ambito di oltre 230 progetti di pianificazione, ioki ha analizzato e simulato miliardi di modelli di mobilità e distanze di viaggio, individuando potenziali miglioramenti dell’efficienza nelle reti di trasporto pubblico esistenti. Queste competenze sono rilevanti per il mercato statunitense quanto per quello europeo. 

Al progetto della Georgetown University dovrebbero seguire a breve ulteriori servizi gestiti tramite la ioki Platform e nuovi progetti di mobilità basati su ioki Analytics. 

Il settore statunitense del trasporto pubblico avrà l’opportunità di conoscere per la prima volta ioki e i suoi prodotti in occasione di APTA 2026 TRANSform & EXPO. La principale fiera dell’American Public Transportation Association (APTA) si terrà a Chicago dal 4 al 7 ottobre. Saranno presenti anche HOLON e BENTELER Mobility.
