1. Innovative public procurement for E-inclusion in Trentino province
Projects and ideas in context
Fausto Giunchiglia Dept. of Information and Communication Technology University of Trento Povo, Trento, Italy

2. Trentino province Social background Economic background
High level of social coesion and solidarity
High investments in learning and education
6,2% of GDP; 4,7% in Italy*
High level of quality of life and security standards
Demographic structure unbalanced towards elderly people
Old-age dependency ratio = 120*
Economic background
High GDP/capita
111,7% of EU15*
Strong welfare systems
5,8 times Italian expenses/capita **
Growing investments in research and innovation
Half Italian expenses/Pil in 2000; 1,5 times Italian expenses in 2005 (about 3,5% of GDP)*
Strong economic tissue of SME and “family enterprises” spread among the territory
Territorial background
Strong reputation of the Provincia Autonoma di Trento as a leading autorithy
Low population density in mountain areas and isolation risk
About one third (70/skm) of Italy; without Trento town much lower (60/skm)
Strong investment in infrastructures (e.g. broadband technologies)
About 120 M€ until 2010 for broadband technologies

7. Innovation in CASALPINA: an open public administration
Involvement of public institutions, research centers, private companies
Institutions involved with different political competencies (Provincia di Trento, Comune di Trento, Health Agency of Trentino)
Three different local research centers (IRST, University of Trento, CNR)
Three local private companies (two in semantic technologies, one in SOA technologies)
Competence and knowledge sharing for an “open” public administration
The domain experts of the administration share their knowledge with technology experts from research environment
The companies grow and engineer products competing on the market
