December 5, 2025: SHRM reports that AI is accelerating the collapse of traditional entry-level roles, forcing companies to rethink how they develop early-career talent. A WIRED investigation reveals what happened when a startup tried replacing employees with AI agents—and why it quickly fell apart. The CEO of NTT DATA tells Reuters that the current AI bubble will be short-lived before a much larger wave of transformation. A new Times of India story shows that young remote workers are losing career momentum due to reduced visibility and fewer opportunities for mentorship. The Hechinger Report uncovers why "no degree required" is still largely a myth as employers continue to favor credentialed candidates. And a new Challenger report finds more than 71,000 layoffs as companies restructure around evolving skill needs.

Bongani Bingwa speaks to Amantha Naidoo, managing director at NTT DATA about the look to showcase their flagship CSR initiative, the Saturday School program, and its impact on education, youth development, and corporate social responsibility. 702 Breakfast with Bongani Bingwa is broadcast on 702, a Johannesburg based talk radio station.

Sud Innovazione non nasce come un'ennesima conferenza, ma come infrastruttura: un rapporto che misura, una competition che seleziona eccellenze, un summit che collega imprese, università e istituzioni. È questo il messaggio che Roberto Ruggeri porta ai microfoni di RadioNext: il Mezzogiorno non va più trattato come periferia da assistere, ma come piattaforma competitiva dove qualità della vita, creatività e talenti internazionali attraggono imprese e investimenti. Siamo davvero pronti a riscrivere la mappa dell'innovazione italiana?I segnali ci sono: atenei meridionali con corsi attrattivi anche per l'estero (l'Università di Messina conta migliaia di iscritti stranieri), poli di big tech e deep tech già operativi (Cosenza per NTT Data, Catania per STMicroelectronics), una base di ricerca sull'AI capace di richiamare professori di livello internazionale. Per i manager il tema non è "se" guardare al Sud, ma "come" inserirlo in una strategia di diversificazione: costo dei fattori mediamente inferiore del 25-30%, bacini di talento meno saturi, mercati emergenti e, soprattutto, un arbitraggio competitivo possibile tra qualità della vita e produttività. Ma non basta aprire un ufficio: serve una regia. Oggi le politiche regionali funzionano a macchia di leopardo (Puglia docet), mentre il sistema avrebbe bisogno di una cabina interregionale che renda immediatamente "leggibile" il Mezzogiorno alle corporate del Nord e agli investitori esteri. Chi deve fare il primo passo? Le imprese possono attivare accordi con gli atenei - veri nodi di competenze e network globali - usando il Rapporto Sud Innovation come bussola per ridurre il rischio percepito grazie a un indicatore proprietario di competitività. Le istituzioni, dal canto loro, dovrebbero collegare gli incentivi e standardizzare percorsi, perché i silos territoriali sono il vero freno. E l'orizzonte? L'AI accelera tutto e impone una rotta chiara: riportare l'uomo al centro. È qui che il Sud può giocare una partita identitaria - una "risposta mediterranea" alla Silicon Valley - valorizzando umanesimo, creatività e contaminazione con i mercati del bacino. La traiettoria è ambiziosa: estendere rapporto, competition e summit al Mediterraneo, catalizzando capitali e progetti cross-border.Allora la domanda vera diventa: stiamo costruendo un ecosistema capace di far tornare i talenti e far crescere le imprese, o ci accontentiamo di un'arena di eventi? Se la misurazione guida le decisioni, la competizione fa emergere i migliori e il summit connette chi decide, il Sud può passare dal "potenziale inespresso" alla pipeline di innovazione dell'Italia. E per chi deve scegliere dove investire le prossime risorse, l'invito è pragmatico: mappa dei talenti con le università, partnership operative con i campioni locali, governance interregionale. Il resto è execution.
