Uk: Piaggio Fast Forward at World Frontiers Forum in Cambridge
Rome - Piaggio Group with Piaggio Fast Forward (Pff), a company based in Boston that constitutes the group's research center on future mobility, is taking part - as the only Italian company participating in the debate - in the World Frontiers Forum currently being held in Cambridge and at Harvard University. Founded by Dennis Ausiello (Harvard Medical School/MGH), David Edwards (Harvard, ArtScience) and Robert Langer (MIT), the World Frontiers Forum is an annual get-together for international groups and companies, as well as the academic world and cultural institutions, which stand out for their pioneering view and solutions aimed at improving the world's future. This year the Forum welcomes 150 guests from all over the globe and its aim, according to a note, is "to bring to the light, share and encourage unprecedented and innovative ideas that may in future enhance prosperity and quality of life in a world that is increasingly 'at the cutting edge', requiring adaptation in our behavior and in the way we think and act". Piaggio Fast Forward has been called upon to represent the transport and mobility industry, and it will be introducing Gita, Pff's first robotics project: a smart vehicle also capable of moving autonomously, and conceived to improve mobility for people and things in today's increasingly complex urban developments.
