2024 could be THE year of change for #ConsumerElectronics #Retail Italian landscape. Following a boost from #COVID19, which led to increased time spent at home, the the market has begun to contract at a rapid pace, potentially in double digits. This has prompted long-anticipated structural changes in an industry with very narrow profit margins. While some developments are more #traditional #classic such as #unieuro push on PL, #mediaworld shop in shop partnership with #bennet and #amazonprimeday campaign, 3 other moves are considerably more disruptive: 1) Fnac Darty potential acquisition of Unieuro S.p.A. with Kretinsky and Niel competing once again, this time in Italy following their #Casino battle in France 2) MediaWorld recent launch of its #marketplace represents an intriguing model that can provide enhanced value to consumers and elevate the #omnichannel experience to the next level. This move comes with some caveats, as Amazon is well aware, but could position MW as the #gotoplace for product search 3) Covercare SPA acquisition by Unieuro (in late 2023) aims to expand again the service offering. The "push" #repair services could see greater success in 2024, thanks to recent trends such as #ESG #genz. Historically #priceconscious Italian consumers had shown limited "pull" for services, as #fnac and #darty experienced when they enter&exit the market

From great cosmist aspirations to the practical applications of accelerating progress, this conversation is a stimulating exploration of human potential and the role of technology in shaping our future. Don't miss this unique opportunity to learn from one of the brightest minds in the field of Futurist thinking.

How do you see e/acc as a continuation or evolution of the ideas of cosmism and extropia? In your opinion, what are the most significant challenges facing humanity today, and how can e/acc help solve these challenges? Can you delve deeper into the concept of "out-of-balance thermodynamics" and its relevance to the objectives of e/acc? What is the role you see for artificial intelligence in movement and/acc, and how do you imagine the development and integration of AI with human society? How do you respond to criticism that e/acc could lead to greater inequality or loss of control over technologies?

How do you see the relationship between e/acc and other emerging technologies, such as space exploration, biotechnology and nanotechnology? How can people and society help achieve e/acc goals and accelerate progress towards a better future? What are your thoughts on the ethical considerations surrounding e/acc, and how can we ensure that technology is used responsibly and for the good of all?

The innovative ecosystem of Turin continues to grow and establishes itself as one of the leaders in Italy. This is evident not only from the increase in venture capital investments but also from the significant density of scaleups compared to the total number of startups. However, to compete on a global scale, it is essential to look beyond national borders. Comparing with the ecosystems of France and Germany can clarify Italy's positioning and shed light on what our true goals should be. I have prepared a slide that gathers all the key players in the Turin ecosystem. Do you find it useful? If you have any questions or notice any significant omissions in the mapping, do not hesitate to contact me.
