One million votes for Eolo Mission Municipalities

The initiative Eolo Mission Municipalities was developed to combat the phenomenon of depopulation that affects an ever-increasing amount of municipalities with a population of less than 5,000. Aeolus has chosen to donate one million euros to attempt to reverse this trend, which will be donated to municipalities in the form of connectivity and technology. A way to stem the Digital Divide phenomenon and offer a boost to these centers ' digital transformation.

How does the Municipalities of Eolo Mission work?
Eolo has developed a kind of social game to select the municipalities on which to act. Once you have registered on the site, a municipality can be assigned a vote to nominate it. The top ten municipalities in the voting ranking will earn digital awards every month. These can be webcams, interactive totems, digital whiteboards, projectors, tablets in the form of connectivity (provided for two years).

In order to determine how many of these resources will be distributed to each municipality, electors will have access to a sequence of "mission" typically consisting of taking municipal pictures, recording videos and publishing statements or stories to share on Facebook and Instagram under the hashtag #EOLOMissioneComune. Points are given for each finished mission.

A way to make many locations visible that may be unknown but not without charm.

"We are very happy with the excellent involvement that the EOLO Missione project continues to gather,"-commented Luca Spada, CEO of EOLO SpA-" It is an significant signal that not only shows an Italy hungry for development, but also informs people's willingness to open up to technological progress even in smaller municipalities.
