Bergamo Città Impresa, the festival of industrial territories, will invite reflection on the ongoing transition in the economy and businesses during the 2024 edition. This year's title will be:
WHAT THE AMERICAN VOTE CHANGES. TECHNOLOGY, SUSTAINABILITY, GLOBAL COMPETITION, AND THE ROLE OF EUROPE.
2024 is a year in which the global geopolitical situation is at the center of public debate, due both to the numerous upcoming elections and ongoing conflicts. What are the implications for the economy and businesses? The festival, taking place just a few days after the elections in the United States and five months after the European elections, will seek to address these pressing questions by involving strategic productive sectors such as automotive industry, labor market, public administration, and the new fields introduced by artificial intelligence through in-depth discussions among entrepreneurs, economists, and institutional representatives.
GUIDED TOURS. Selected students for option 1 (Guided Tours + Festival) will have the opportunity to participate in guided tours of selected companies, which are real case studies of product or process innovation. The guided tours will take place on the afternoon of Thursday, November 7, and the morning of Friday, November 8, 2024.
HERE ARE SOME COMPANIES WE VISITED PAST YEARS: Pietro Fiorentini, Zordan, Cielo e Terra, Remazel Engineering, Persico Group, Lovato Electric, Gruppo Siad, ABB Italia, Marelli Motori, Morato Pane, Zamperla and many more.
