Today there is no business without digital. Strengthened by this conviction, we decided to create an association that would contribute in a decisive way to the digitalization of the country. What we have done is to form, with the main entities active in the datacenter field in Italy, a united front to foster the nation's economic growth. We have an important mission, which is precisely to accelerate the digital development of the Italian territory through an increasing presence of datacenters.
