A Report on Emerging Technologies Supporting Inclusion

In contexts characterized by high complexity and rapid change, inclusion in its broadest sense is not merely a corporate social responsibility initiative, but a strategic lever that enhances performance. With the development of the Industry 5.0 trend and the adoption of new technologies within companies, it becomes essential to consciously identify and manage the risks and opportunities associated with these technologies.

The Tech4Inclusion Xplore report by Intesa Sanpaolo Innovation Center, created in collaboration with Materias, analyzes how emerging technologies — from Artificial Intelligence (AI) to cobots, from Extended Reality (XR) to neural interfaces — can be designed by design to foster real and tangible inclusion. This approach not only addresses challenges related to equity and social sustainability, but also drives business growth, aligning with the principles of Industry 5.0.
