The Italian Chamber of Commerce and Industry for the UK has teamed up with Intesa Sanpaolo and Intesa Sanpaolo Innovation Center to host a round table followed by a pitch session focused on the Innovation challenges of 2021.

2020 has been the year of Innovation and Technology, both offering solutions to international challenges such as Brexit and Covid-19.
With new year approaching soon, will London remain the same international innovation hub or will it loose part of its attractiveness?

The round table – moderated by Gian M. Volpicelli, Senior Editor at Wired UK –  will see the participation of IBM, Intesa Sanpaolo, Intesa Sanpaolo Innovation Center and London&Partners.
The conversation  will be followed by pitches held by Italian start ups and a Q&A.
