These are the themes for the third edition of the Young Innovators Business Forum which returns to Milan again this year on 4 June in the prestigious setting of the Testori Auditorium from 9.00 to 17.00 in Piazza Città di Lombardia, 1.

We are facing the dawn of a new technological revolution with the advent of generative AI and the implications of the development of new enabling technologies can lead to a new economic boom. However, we need to support greater investment in research and increase incentives for businesses so as not to miss this opportunity. A process of democratization of technology at the service of citizens with an appeal that we will present to the Government and to Europe with our Manifesto for a Competitive Italy”.
