MARKET OVERVIEW

As digital technologies become ubiquitous, we are entering an era of interconnected devices, analytics, and artificial intelligence. The increasing number of intelligent devices - which can process data at the source (edge computing) and are connected to the cloud - is opening the door to new business models, creating major development opportunities, and helping to improve people's overall safety and quality of life.

The evolution of technologies such as the Cloud, Big Data and Analytics, Artificial Intelligence and the Internet of Things has accelerated the digital transformation of business processes worldwide, and the way in which companies approach the creation, provision and use of ICT products and services.

In the current environment, speed of execution and time to market are key aspects not only for competitivity, but also for a business's survival. We are witnessing across the globe a strong drive towards digitalization.

The COVID-19 pandemic has certainly sped up this trend, bringing digitalization to many sectors and environments of daily life which historically were far removed from this world. This trend has also advanced significantly in the industrial environment, where businesses across all sectors increasingly require more innovation, digitalization and interconnection among their products.

Climate change and issues surrounding raw material and energy supply have combined to make accelerating the digital transition increasingly crucial. Against this backdrop, digitalization will play a key role. Through Artificial Intelligence, it will offer advanced tools to support renewable energy, energy efficiency, and reduced consumption of industrial and personal devices.

The many relaunch and investment incentives programs underway in numerous countries shall contribute to further speeding up these trends, ensuring growth of the connected devices and IoT market comfortably in the double-digits, as indicated by all of the most trusted sector studies.

OPERATING OVERVIEW

The third quarter of 2022 saw the Group continue the strong performance delivered in the first half of the year. Development continued of new Edge Computing products and CLEA software platform features in the first nine months of 2022. SECO further strengthened its presence and position in the IoT and AI market through a number of major agreements to add weight to its commercial offerings.

In March, Impresa Pizzarotti & C. S.p.A., a leading company in the design and construction of road, rail and airport infrastructure and health and residential construction, chose CLEA, SECO's IoT and AI software platform, to enable "smart" management of road and hospital infrastructure using a range of high added-value applications and functionalities.
