ANFAO Launches Innovereye Training to Integrate AI and Digitalisation in Italian Eyewear Manufacturing

On 15 May, ANFAO Vice President Nicola Belli announced the start of the first training courses under Innovereye, a project developed with Confindustria Belluno Dolomiti, Aivisory, and Certottica. The initiative aims to help Italian eyewear companies, particularly SMEs, practically integrate artificial intelligence and digitalisation into manufacturing and organisational processes. Belli emphasised that while Italy retains strong traditional manufacturing know-how, global competitiveness now depends on leveraging data and digital speed against emerging economies like China and Vietnam. Innovereye seeks to create a dedicated reference hub providing tailored operational support and real-life use cases to improve efficiency, quality, and talent attraction without sacrificing the sector's cultural heritage or Made in Italy identity.
