Innovation Exchange: building bridges between Italy and Brasil - WEBINAR

Modera: Kevin Carboni
In collaboration with Associazione di Amicizia Italia-Brasile and UlaBianca
Recife, thanks to its natural port, is the main city in the Northeast region of Brazil. It is renowned for its rich historical and cultural heritage, solid industrial base, and significant academic presence. In recent years, Recife has emerged as an innovation hub, particularly in the field of information and communication technologies (ICT), attracting top talents and multinational companies in the sector.  This panel aims to open a dialogue between Italy and Brazil in order to promote the exchange of best practices in the field of innovation. The goal is to strengthen collaboration between institutions in both countries, and to foster growth and development in their respective regions. Topics of discussion will include: advanced training in ICT, strategies for attracting talent and investment, and the role of academic and industrial institutions in building innovative ecosystems. In order to stimulate further dialogue, the panel will explore how Recife's success stories can inspire new collaborative initiatives between Brazil and Italy.
