Presentation of the Chief Innovation Officers Study 2019, the first Italian study on the subject, jointly conducted by the University of Pavia and StartupItalia, seeks to answer the most common questions about the role, diffusion, and strategic relevance of executives with the highest responsibility for innovative processes in companies.
Who are the “Chief Innovation Officers” (CInOs)? What exactly do they do? Are they inventors, innovation architects, or perhaps… ‘pirates’? Are they a passing fad or a critical success factor for companies?
The first Italian study on the subject, jointly conducted by the University of Pavia and StartupItalia, seeks to answer these and other questions about the role, diffusion, and strategic relevance of executives with the highest responsibility for innovative processes in companies.
After the first preliminary results based on public data released in September 2019, this second phase of research offers a more in-depth overview of the background, stories, and results of CInOs in Italy, thanks to a representative sample of 155 executives in such roles, consulted through interviews and questionnaires.
Some data on the relevance of the sample: these 155 CInOs – all together – coordinate 4,443 ‘innovation people’. The companies represented had a total turnover of 114 billion euros in 2018 (equivalent to the GDP of half of Finland, more than the GDP of the entire Kuwait).
The unprecedented results of this second phase – which show some confirmations and many surprises – will be presented for the first time on December 16, 2019, at #SIOS2019.
Presentation of data from StartupItalia regarding the number of rounds, investments, and the impact on jobs concerning Italian startups in the last 12 months. The top 100 best Italian startups will be revealed, and the absolute best will be chosen by a jury of 100 jurors. The European finals of the Startup World Cup, organized by Pegasus Venture, will also be held within the StartupItalia Open Summit.
Presentation of the AlmaLaurea 2018 research relating to the growth data of women in the STEM sector.
Compared to 15 years ago, women graduating in STEM disciplines with a bachelor’s degree have quintupled today (16,848 compared to 3,398 in 2004). With work and salaries, the gender gap begins.
How is the world of work changing with technology? Using it to our advantage instead of fearing it will be the focus of the meeting with Corrado Passera, founder of illimity and former Minister, and Luciano Floridi, Professor of Philosophy and Ethics of Information and Director of the Digital Ethics Lab at the University of Oxford.
From its main stage, Bocconi will open the doors of the Bocconi incubator – B4i. Awards ceremony and announcement of the Best Italian Startup of the Year 2019.
