The event, held last December 17, brought 200 speakers on stage at the Palazzo del Ghiaccio in Milan, 20 workshops and 7 masterclasses, physically involving 10,500 people between entrepreneurs, startuppers, digital natives, investors, journalists and representatives of institutions > discover the campaign and invest too

Many are the objectives of the Summit, which the network also knows as #SIOS: to circulate ideas and knowledge, put people, ideas and capital in contact, but above all, says Casalini, "torestore confidence in this extraordinary country, valuing all those who cultivate new ideas with their work and try to realize them".

With the clear goal of becoming a reference point for the Italian innovation ecosystem, which in 2018 touched 10,000 startups.

Casalini, in a recent interview with Corriere della Sera in which he analyzes the success of the 2018 edition: "We have arrived at the so-called 'tipping point', turning point. In fact, this year the Italian innovation ecosystem has been able in the last year to triple its investments in startups, exceeding 400 million Euros of investments and guaranteeing 50 thousand jobs despite the delicate economic context. We are among the top ten European investors in startups".

OnThursday February 14th at 6pm, David Casalini will present live the project that is attracting so many investors and will answer all questions about the company and the campaign.
