The New Normal after Brexit and Covid-19: A conversation about innovation with Italian and UK corporates, banks and start ups

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.
