research centres) with which it collaborates with the internal R&D activities and scientific Hubs that allow us to achieve continuously evolving results and which can lead to the definition of new objectives in terms of Innovation and Skills.

Today the Relatech Group has a human capital of around 800 people, an essential asset and heart of the company. Human Value is at the top of the Group's value chain and is in fact one of the founding pillars on which Relatech places a lot of attention also with reference to sustainability issues, a path that the Group has undertaken starting from 2020 with the publication of the first non-financial ESG Report. The sensitivity towards the issues of Environment, Social and Governance are demonstrated in the 2022 Sustainability Report.

The Relatech Group bases its growth strategy on the 3M strategy (Merge - Management - Margin). The 3M strategy provides for:

• a constant attention to M&A (Merge) activity with the aim of identifying companies with specific latest generation technologies, process expertise and customer base in new sectors;
• careful management of resources and strengthening of the Group structure (Management) in terms of governance, guaranteeing the development of talents with professional training plans and coaching paths aimed at strengthening transversal soft skills through the internal project called ReCoach, which at the beginning of 2023 saw the certification of the first 24 professional Relatech coaches, which involved more than 30% of the population at group level and which established Relatech as a certified company for Sustainable Coaching Management. Furthermore, the objective is to consolidate and increasingly expand the partnerships with research

centres and University institutes;

• ensuring sustainable economic growth (Margin) that allows technological leadership thanks to proprietary solutions with recurring revenues.
  In addition to the three 3M guidelines, Relatech adopts what has been called Digital Reinassance, a growth driver capable of combining technology with the centrality of the human being who can exploit all its potential to his advantage.

On the customer front, today the Group has a diversified presence on the market, with a market sector that has a greater presence, such as Telco & Industry, which continues to be the main one during 2023 with almost an incidence of more than 50%. During the first half of 2023 the other market sectors are almost equally distributed, with the same percentage incidences compared to the performance of 2022.

1. The Reference Market

1.1 The Global Market

The Relatech Group is active in the international market of innovation and digital transformation, which for several years has represented the fastest growing segment of the ICT sector. In fact, even in 2022 it was this sector that acted as the engine of growth, recording an overall value of approximately $730B in the world, with an aggregate growth forecast (CAGR) in the period 2023 - 2030 of 26.7% at a global level (https://www.grandviewresearch.com). The growth of the market can be predominantly attributed to the increasing adoption of cutting-edge technologies such as cloud, big data analytics, and artificial intelligence (AI), among others, which has caused the growth of companies of all sizes all over the world.

The BigData Analytics segment accounted for the largest market share in 2022, with a share of 35.3%, attributable to the high demand for capturing and analysing huge volumes of business information to generate powerful insights thanks to the use of A.I. algorithms, followed by Cloud Computing with a share of 26.7%, essential for archiving and managing data in a scalable way.

In terms of diffusion on the markets, Digital Transformation at a global level is distributed quite equally, with a slight prevalence in the Banking & Finance sector.

Even for the more technological sectors, very sustained growth is expected:

• Smart Manufacturing: The global smart manufacturing market was valued at $254.24B in 2022 and is expected to grow at a CAGR of 14.9% from 2023 to 2030. The market is expanding at a faster pace due to factors such as increased adoption of Industry 4.0, greater government commitment to supporting industrial automation, greater emphasis on industrial automation in manufacturing processes, increased demand for software systems that save time and costs, increasing supply chain complexities and a greater emphasis on regulatory compliance.

• Cybersecurity:The global cybersecurity market size was valued at $173.5B in 2022 and is expected to grow to $266.2B by 2027 at a CAGR of 8.9% during 2023-2027. The main growth driver remains the growing number of attacks and malicious intrusions globally and in every sector, including finance, public, healthcare and industry. In particular, growing investments are expected especially in the healthcare, public administration and industry sectors. For this last sector there is growing attention for the protection of industrial networks also by SMEs. (https://www.marketsandmarkets.com/ Market-Reports/cyber-security-market-505.html)

1.2 The digital market in Europe

At European Community level, the issues of digitalisation and innovation are very important and substantial investments are already planned for the Digital Europe programme, which will focus above all on 5 thematic areas: Cloud, artificial intelligence (AI), Cybersecurity, Digital Skills (skills) and Digital Transformation (processes and methodologies), and for the continuation of the Horizon Europe program for the period 2021-27(H21-27), for a total investment value of more than 100 billion EUR over the next seven years.

The macro-objectives of the Digital Europe Program are:

• Increase the competitiveness of the EU.
• Develop, strengthen digital skills and accelerate the digital transformation of Member States.
• Digital skills accessible to citizens and businesses.
• Horizon 2021-27 program, continuation of H2020.

The Horizon 21-27 program provides funding for research and innovation which will continue with the already launched Horizon2020 program but will be further strengthened to finance research on health, safety, digital transition and the protection of the green ecosystem. Part of the program budget is reserved for the Digital and Industry sphere in order to develop high standards of research and innovation in Digital Enablers, i.e., technology enabling digital evolution, such as Artificial Intelligence, Robotics, Next Generation Internet (5G etc.), Computing, Big Data.

Several thematic areas addressed by Horizon21-27 and the Digital Europe program appear to overlap, but in reality they are complementary, i.e.:

• The Digital Europe program will focus on large-scale digital capacity and infrastructure building with the aim of broad market deployment and spread of digital solutions.
• Horizon21-27will support research and technological development.
