The Enterprise City Festival returns to stop in Bergamo for its second edition. It starts today and continues through Sunday, Oct. 28, with a packed schedule of meetings. At the center, companies, growth, people.
What are the ambitions of made-in-Italy technology? And can the champions of our industry take on the role of leading and driving growth, promoting the development of companies in their supply chain? These are the key questions on which Leonardo’s CEO Alessandro Profumo and Stefano Paleari, Alitalia’s extraordinary commissioner who headed the Human Technopole coordination committee until last May, will discuss this morning. The national aerospace and defense group decided this year to revolutionize its relationships with suppliers, identifying “partners for growth” by assessing their performance in terms of capacity and sustainability. All under the label of the Leap2020 program, an acronym that stands for “Leonardo Empowering Advanced Partnerships.” Representing the crucial business perspective will be the president of Confindustria Bergamo, Stefano Scaglia, fresh from the association’s assembly two days ago. But this is not the only event of the day. Also among the highlights will be contributions from Cdp chairman Massimo Tononi and Italmobiliare CEO Carlo Pesenti: together in the afternoon they will talk about corporate finance. Then yes or no to gender quotas in companies; integration (real or cosmetic?) of immigrants in factories. And finally, pensions. On the topic, heated by the debate on the Stability Law, former Minister of Labor and Social Policies Elsa Fornero and Alberto Brambilla, “father” of the “quota 100” project and president of the Itinerari previdenziali center, will cross their views.
