WMF International Roadshow

The WMF’s journey towards spreading a culture of innovation, entrepreneurship, and digital transformation is going global with the WMF International Roadshow.

The work carried out over the years—through the sharing of values and knowledge, as well as cooperation among various social actors, which are the foundation of the WMF's mission—has now led to the creation of “satellite” events around the world.

This is proof that there is a strong global drive toward the sustainable and inclusive co-creation of a better future, through the conscious use of innovation and digital tools.

Under the aegis of the WMF, a new global digital cooperation project was launched in September 2021, spanning five continents and involving 29 countries.

Training, Business and Networking, Culture, and Education on digital innovation are some of the key elements featured in the local events.

Above all, the WMF events around the world will host local Startup Competitions with the goal of building a global ecosystem of innovative and sustainable entrepreneurship. These competitions aim to generate a flow of international ideas and projects between Italy and abroad, while also promoting Italian technological excellence in new markets.
