Innovation Conference with BCCI

Our future is destined to be filled with novelties and surprises. Predictions of the imminent take over by the Metaverse, the intangible, but very real NFTs, the shocking advancement and accessibility of generative AI are only a tiny portion of what we call innovation. When we think of innovation we must think of technology, but also processes and mindset. Change is omnipresent, continuous and inevitable, but it requires knowledge and vision to embrace Innovation as a tool for improving lives and overcoming challenges.

For several years The British Chamber of Commerce for Italy has chosen to focus on innovation as one of its four theme pillars.On 23 November 2023, starting at 9:00am, the Chamber will hold a conference on innovation with institutional representatives from Italy and the UK, businesses and academicians to look beyond the sensational news and attempt to embrace innovation with fellow Chamber members and distinguished guests.

We invite you to join the conversation and contribute to shaping the future for the greater good.
