The uncrewed(remotely piloted) technology of Leonardo was central to  the three-day “Free Thinking Workshop” recently held at the Ansaldo Foundation’s headquarters in Genoa. Leonardo’s managers attending the workshop discussed ideas and concepts generated by the various work sessions to help drive forward the Group’s strategic vision for the uncrewed sector. 

The “Free Thinking Workshop” was organised by Leonardo in collaboration with the "Fondazione Ricerca & Imprenditorialità" (FR&I) which supported its methodology while leveraging on its own experience and network to facilitate the innovation processes.
 

"The Genoa workshop was a unique opportunity to evaluate our current position and to focus on the forward-looking opportunities of the uncrewed sector. Our objective is to face cohesively the future challenges of one of the market segments that offers the highest added value and where Leonardo is an acknowledged leader at an international level", says Laurent Sissmann, Leonardo’s uncrewed System SVP. "Thanks to the successful research and development of our uncrewed technology, it was possible during the Free Thinking Workshop to identify the actions required to consolidate Leonardo's position as a key international player in the development of integrated capabilities, products and services with remotely piloted systems".
