Confapi Venezia brought young entrepreneurs together in San Rocco to try to network and reflect on successful practices
In the splendid setting of the Scuola Grande di San Rocco, in Venice, a conference by Apindustria Servizi took place, with the collaboration of Confapi (Italian Confederation of Small and Medium Industry) Venice dedicated to young entrepreneurs, “protagonists of change”. The aim is to launch, together with companies, institutions and stakeholders, a reflection on the successful solutions and practices already applied in favor of entrepreneurial competitiveness and growth of the territory. Lowest common denominator for everyone, networking. Exceptional moderator Nicolò De Devitiis of le Iene.
On stage the president of Confapi Venezia Marco Zecchinel who recalled that the business world is made up of 60% people between the ages of 50-70 and there is therefore a need for new energy. Elia Stevanato, president of the young people of Confapi Venezia, explained that doing entrepreneurship today is almost an act of heroismer the enormous difficulties that confront us, especially young people. Startups, for example, have a very difficult time finding funding. Confapi youth tries to help them grow and the aim is to also create a fund for them.
Then it was the guests’ turn, we talked about technology with Riccardo Durighello and Giacomo Pasquali, founders of Ipazia Srl, a company which, taking advantage of important official partnerships, is active in the educational sector. robots and machines are proposed to schools and universities, which are used for training and research. A fundamental step to gradually bring students closer to the world of work, experiencing first-hand the most modern technologies applied in the field. Lorenzo Asciutti has brought his experience to the third generation of the logistics company of the same name. According to Lorenzo and his brother – who have now entered the governance of the company – a paradigm shift is needed, which observes not only economic sustainability but also that linked to ESG (Environmental, Social and Governance) values. This is because doing business is seen by them as an opportunity to give value and importance to everyone.
