(PRESS RELEASE)GENEVA, Switzerland, 1-Apr-2026 — /EuropaWire/ — The World Technology Congress (WTC), an international non-profit association headquartered in Switzerland, is pleased to announce that Dario Peirone, Chairman of the Board of CEIPIEDMONTE, will take part in the 5th Session of the World Technology Congress, held from 22-24 April 2026 at Villa Carminati Di Resta in Lake Como. 

As Chairman of CEIPIEDMONTE, the Piedmont Agency for Industrial and Economic Development, Dario Peirone brings decades of leadership in fostering innovation clusters, advanced manufacturing, and technology transfer, offering critical regional insights to WTC’s science-driven dialogue on frontier technologies. 

Piedmont’s Strategic Role in Europe’s Technological Landscape
Piedmont stands as a cornerstone of Europe’s industrial heartland, renowned for its engineering heritage, precision manufacturing, automotive supply chains, and robotics ecosystems. CEIPIEDMONTE, under Peirone’s guidance, drives initiatives that bridge research institutions, SMEs, and global industries, positioning the region as a model for scaling Physical AI in real-world applications.

Physical AI, the fusion of robotics, embodied intelligence, sensing, and autonomous systems, raises urgent imperatives for EU industrial policy, including supply-chain resilience, workforce upskilling, and regulatory frameworks for deployment. Piedmont’s deep expertise in mechatronics, automation, and high-tech fabrication equips it to inform how these technologies can bolster Europe’s manufacturing sovereignty, reduce dependencies, and integrate seamlessly into strategic sectors like mobility and energy. 

A Platform for Evidence-Based Dialogue
The 5th Session convenes senior representatives from the European Commission, global research institutes, ministers from several countries, and leaders in robotics, intelligent systems, and Physical AI.

Dario Peirone’s contribution will help inform discussions on:

• Regional innovation ecosystems and industrial modernization
• Scalable deployment of Physical AI in manufacturing value chains
• Europe’s semiconductor integration and component sovereignty
• Cross-border collaboration for resilient digital infrastructure
• Skills frameworks for embodied intelligence and automation
• Strengthening EU leadership in next-generation robotics

His perspective from Piedmont reinforces Italy’s role as a vital link between regional industrial strengths, EU regulatory goals, and global technological progress. 

Leadership Statement from WTC
“We are honoured to welcome Dario Peirone, Chairman of CEIPIEDMONTE, to the 5th Session of the World Technology Congress,” said Dominika Haberova, Chairperson of WTC. “Piedmont’s proven track record in advanced manufacturing and innovation clusters makes it indispensable to Europe’s Physical AI agenda. Peirone’s participation ensures that practical, region-level insights on industrial transition and technology governance enrich our shared European dialogue, advancing responsible adoption for long-term economic and societal gains.”
