Elevatori: Magazine hosts the third 'July 10 Round Table' at GEE

The 'July 10 Round Table' is a permanent platform on the modernisation of existing lifts, conceived and promoted by Elevatori Magazine and inaugurated on 10 July 2025 with a historic event held at the Politecnico di Milano  

The third meeting of the 'July 10 Round Table' was held   at GEE and focused on the theme of “Technological innovations for efficient modernisation”. There were many speakers at the same table, coming from the business world (to show the public real examples of what can be done to modernise the existing lift fleet), the academic world (with two professors from the Politecnico di Milano who joined the Technical Committee of Elevatori Magazine after the first Round Table meeting), and associations (Anacam, ANIE AssoAscensori and Anica will participate for the lift sector; Un.i.on for notified bodies; Anaci - Italian Association of Condominium and Real Estate Administrators for condominium administrators; standardisation bodies will be represented by the president of the UNI Lifts and Escalators Commission), to discuss the actions already implemented and those to be developed together, also with a view to engaging with the government and the political world.
