Our #neighborhood is getting some attention! Sir Jony Ive, the genius behind the iconic iPhone, is revitalizing our beloved #JacksonSquare area in #SanFrancisco, right between #LittleItaly and the #FinancialDistrict. For the past two years, #INNOVIT has proudly called this community our #home. Jony recently acquired several office buildings here, where #designers are diligently crafting the future of #AI, collaborating with esteemed #Italian brands like Moncler and Ferrari. This perfectly embodies INNOVIT’s mission as the first Hub where Italian #Innovation and #Culture meet! We’re excited to be at the heart of all this #innovation and #creativity, contributing to San Francisco's renaissance. We’re not just witnessing the future; we’re actively building it! Let’s embrace the #journey ahead! To learn more about the transformations Jony Ive is bringing to life, check out this article from the NY Times: https://lnkd.in/e2d8Ad5z

INNOVIT - Italian Innovation and Culture Hub reposted this
I’ll be speaking at the INNOVIT - Italian Innovation and Culture Hub Fintech Demo Day this Thursday, September 26th. I’m looking forward to joining my fellow panelists, Marco Mahrus and Amy Fisher, to discuss the opportunities and challenges ahead for AI in Fintech, and the role of innovation in shaping the future of commerce. Aside from the panel, what I’m most excited for is to hear pitches from 12 innovative Italian startups. If you’re in the Bay Area, I’d encourage you to join. Great chance to connect and collaborate.
