The Autonomous Region of Trentino-Alto Adige/Südtirol has approved the Memorandum of Understanding with the Ministry of Justice – Department for Technological Innovation of Justice, General Directorate for Digital Infrastructures and User Assistance (DGINFRA), for the computerization of judicial offices in the regional territory. This important agreement aims to improve the technological and digital equipment of judicial offices, promoting a modern and efficient management of justice.
