🇪🇺 🇮🇹 Italian Tech Alliance and InnovUp, key representatives of Italy's innovative entrepreneurial ecosystem, are calling for enhanced support for innovative companies across Europe ahead of the upcoming #2024EUElections. "𝙒𝙚 𝙖𝙧𝙚 𝙚𝙭𝙘𝙞𝙩𝙚𝙙 𝙩𝙤 𝙨𝙪𝙥𝙥𝙤𝙧𝙩 𝙩𝙝𝙚 𝘼𝙡𝙡𝙞𝙚𝙙 𝙛𝙤𝙧 𝙎𝙩𝙖𝙧𝙩𝙪𝙥𝙨 𝙢𝙖𝙣𝙞𝙛𝙚𝙨𝙩𝙤 𝙖𝙨 𝙖 𝙢𝙚𝙖𝙣𝙨 𝙩𝙤 𝙥𝙧𝙤𝙢𝙤𝙩𝙚 𝙥𝙤𝙡𝙞𝙘𝙞𝙚𝙨 𝙞𝙣 𝙛𝙖𝙫𝙤𝙪𝙧 𝙤𝙛 𝙞𝙣𝙣𝙤𝙫𝙖𝙩𝙞𝙫𝙚 𝙗𝙪𝙨𝙞𝙣𝙚𝙨𝙨𝙚𝙨 𝙞𝙣 𝙀𝙪𝙧𝙤𝙥𝙚.” - says Giorgio Ciron, Director of InnovUp. The organisation is developing measures to enhance digital skills, enabling Europe to meet labour market demands and support the sustainable growth and competitiveness of #startups. "𝙏𝙤 𝙚𝙣𝙨𝙪𝙧𝙚 𝙨𝙪𝙨𝙩𝙖𝙞𝙣𝙖𝙗𝙡𝙚 𝙜𝙧𝙤𝙬𝙩𝙝 𝙤𝙛 𝙨𝙩𝙖𝙧𝙩𝙪𝙥𝙨 𝙖𝙣𝙙 𝙞𝙢𝙥𝙧𝙤𝙫𝙚 𝙀𝙪𝙧𝙤𝙥𝙚'𝙨 𝙘𝙤𝙢𝙥𝙚𝙩𝙞𝙩𝙞𝙫𝙚𝙣𝙚𝙨𝙨 𝙞𝙣 𝙩𝙝𝙚 𝙡𝙖𝙗𝙤𝙪𝙧 𝙢𝙖𝙧𝙠𝙚𝙩, 𝙞𝙩 𝙞𝙨 𝙚𝙨𝙨𝙚𝙣𝙩𝙞𝙖𝙡 𝙩𝙤 𝙞𝙣𝙫𝙚𝙨𝙩 𝙞𝙣 𝙨𝙩𝙧𝙚𝙣𝙜𝙩𝙝𝙚𝙣𝙞𝙣𝙜 𝙙𝙞𝙜𝙞𝙩𝙖𝙡 𝙨𝙠𝙞𝙡𝙡𝙨.

Italian Tech Alliance, on the other hand, is advocating for the recognition of a European startup/scaleup status, which would foster a dynamic entrepreneurial environment across the European Union. “𝙏𝙝𝙞𝙨 𝙝𝙖𝙧𝙢𝙤𝙣𝙞𝙨𝙖𝙩𝙞𝙤𝙣 𝙬𝙤𝙪𝙡𝙙 𝙧𝙚𝙡𝙞𝙚𝙫𝙚 𝙚𝙣𝙩𝙧𝙚𝙥𝙧𝙚𝙣𝙚𝙪𝙧𝙨 𝙤𝙛 𝙪𝙣𝙣𝙚𝙘𝙚𝙨𝙨𝙖𝙧𝙮 𝙖𝙙𝙢𝙞𝙣𝙞𝙨𝙩𝙧𝙖𝙩𝙞𝙫𝙚 𝙗𝙪𝙧𝙙𝙚𝙣𝙨, 𝙖𝙡𝙡𝙤𝙬𝙞𝙣𝙜 𝙩𝙝𝙚𝙢 𝙩𝙤 𝙛𝙤𝙘𝙪𝙨 𝙩𝙝𝙚𝙞𝙧 𝙚𝙣𝙚𝙧𝙜𝙞𝙚𝙨 𝙤𝙣 𝙥𝙧𝙤𝙢𝙤𝙩𝙞𝙣𝙜 𝙩𝙝𝙚𝙞𝙧 𝙗𝙪𝙨𝙞𝙣𝙚𝙨𝙨 𝙖𝙘𝙩𝙞𝙫𝙞𝙩𝙞𝙚𝙨" says Francesco Cerruti, Director General of Italian Tech Alliance. Together, we are championing a Europe that nurtures entrepreneurship and offers robust support for smaller, innovative enterprises.

Poisson Geometry & Mathematical Physics May 13 - July 12, 2024 INdAM Unit, Department of Mathematics and Applications "Renato Caccioppoli", University of Napoli Federico II https://lnkd.in/eC_dta-A The aim of the Intensive Period is to bring together researchers interested in Poisson geometry in a broad sense and mathematical physics from Italy and from abroad. It also aims at presenting the foundations of the theory as well as its more recent results/ramifications to potentially interested young researchers. There is a limited amount of funds to support young participants (MSc and PhD students, Post-Docs, etc.) interested in attending any of the programmed activities.

Key insights from a behavioral finance conference Few days ago I attended a fascinating session on Behavioral Finance arranged by Banca Generali, chaired by Luca Arcangeli. The presentation delved into the nuanced ways our emotions and psychological patterns influence our financial decisions—often more than we realize. Behavioral finance is a field that merges psychology with economics to explain why people make irrational financial decisions. It’s not just about numbers; it’s about understanding human behavior. The session highlighted several common biases, like the confirmation bias and loss aversion, and how these subtly steer our choices and investment strategies. One of the most impactful takeaways for me was recognizing some of these biases in my own behavior. It was a humbling reminder that while we like to think of our financial decisions as rational, they are frequently colored by various psychological factors. Luca did an excellent job of explaining complex concepts in an engaging manner, making it easy to see the practical applications of this knowledge in the financial market. This experience has inspired me to further explore how I can apply the principles of behavioral finance to not only avoid common pitfalls but also improve my financial decision-making process. I’m grateful for such opportunities to learn and understand how human behavior can lead to better financial outcomes. #behavioralfinance #finance #investmentstrategy #financialplanning #economicpsychology #financialliteracy #wealthmanagement #personalfinance #financialeducation #businesspsychology #bancagenerali #bancageneraliprivate #privatebanking

### **Italy: The Land of Frills and Inaction?** 🚨 **Navigating a Land of Frills and Inaction** 🚨 In today's fast-paced world, strategic economic and industrial policies are crucial for sustainable growth. Unfortunately, in Italy, we see an overwhelming focus on appearances and little substantive action. The current landscape is riddled with: 🔍 **Vague Economic and Industrial Policies**: There's an evident lack of clear, actionable strategies, particularly in critical sectors that demand precision and foresight. 🌊 **Directionless Navigation**: Key industries are navigating without a clear compass, often making decisions on the fly rather than following a well-thought-out plan. 🍹 **Excess of Aperitifs, Meetings, and Propaganda Presentations**: While networking and discussions are essential, the balance has tipped too far towards social gatherings and self-promotion rather than concrete, impactful work. It's time to move beyond the frills and focus on real, actionable strategies that drive tangible results. Let's prioritize substance over style and ensure our economic and industrial sectors are robust, strategic, and forward-looking. #EconomicPolicy #IndustrialStrategy #Leadership #ActionOverTalk #StrategicPlanning #Italy Valentina Magri Margherita Carpinteri Fabio Scacciavillani Giulia Alati Davide Scarparo Margherita Cesca Nelder-Haynes RIBA FRSA Alberto Forchielli Federico Losego Oscar Bodini Antonio FINOCCHI GHERSI Alice Gambato Pasquale Preziosa Pasquale Merella, FRM Michele Peterle Leonella Gori Fulvio Giuliani Filippo Secolo Alessandro Alfano Giulio Busulini Marcello Spagnulo Raffaele Zanon
