Italian Innovation Day: Why Italy Matters to the World

Intesa Sanpaolo, together with its partners Booz&Co. and Mind The Bridge, is happy to introduce the Italian Innovation Days: two action-oriented investor days bringing together the best of Italian technology and innovation.

The half-day events will feature a showcase of the best Italian technology start-ups and SMEs ready to scale up. They are designed to stimulate partnership opportunities and to attract entrepreneurs, investors, business leaders and mentors from Italy and the US.

Activities will include a start-up pitching session in front of investors, an open exhibition area to meet SMEs and a networking cocktail.

The first Italian Innovation Day will take place in Stanford, California (the heart of the Silicon Valley) on March 31, 2011.

The following appointment will be in New York on May 5, 2011.
