Inside a 645+ thousand square feet campus, before the Dean Gianmario Verona, and with David Casalini, Paolo Barberis, Marco Montemagno and more than 200 Italian and international guests and 1,000 startups, we will outline the future we choose to imagine.

Over 15,000 people are expected to attend SIOS19 to listen to over 200 Italian and international speakers (50% of which are women) included in the agenda of the event organized - just as in previous years - by Giampaolo Colletti, in a new space featuring a surface measuring 645,000+ square feet, supplied by one of the most influential Italian universities: Università Bocconi. Also, 20+ vertical workshops will take place in the wonderful halls of the Velodromo in Via Sarfatti, Milan. These are the numbers of the winter edition of the 2019 Startup Open Summit, which is titled “Signals from the Future”.

A whole day dedicated to the “Right to Innovation” as defined by the Minister of Technological and Digital Innovation Paola Pisano who, a few months after being appointed, will explain to the audience her approach and the results achieved during the first 100 days of her term. The audience will include more than 1,000 startups from all over Italy, operating in the following specialized industries: digital, life sciences, health, fintech & insurtech, blockchain, AI, social impact, IoT, food, agritech, tourism, culture.

The event includes workshops, seminars and interactive sessions on highly relevant themes, featuring the best investors, experts and innovators from Italy and abroad. Studies with the latest data on the startup ecosystem in Italy and Europe, the blockchain, the role of women in the Research & Development and STEM industries, the latest news in the world of innovation, the future of work between technology and social responsibility will be discussed on the main stage or during one of the event's side sessions.

Professor Stefano De Nicolai, Director of the Emba Ticinensis Master’s Degree Program at Università di Pavia, will present a study on the role and penetration of Chief Digital Officers in Italy. Unstoppable Women with Anna Chiara Gaudenzi and Chiara Trombetta will grab the spotlight with a #Bootstrap on female empowerment aimed at the creation of a growth-oriented network with mentors from leading companies who will make themselves available to young women, offering them practical advice and helping them emerge in their professional life.

This edition will feature a novelty: the StartupItalia Village, an area where present and future are going to collide: an exhibition area where startups will present their business ideas and products, as they search for opportunities to transform the market and our future lifestyle with the help of thousands of investors attending the event. A booth in the Village will host ITA Agency, which will present to the public their activities in collaboration with the Italian Ministry for Economic Development (MISE).

What You Cannot Miss:

The presentation of the 2019 Chief Innovation Officers study by Università di Pavia
Who are the “Chief Innovation Officers” (CInO)? What exactly is their job? Are they inventors, innovation architects, or perhaps... “pirates”? Are they a fad or a key success factor for companies? The first Italian study on the subject, jointly carried out by Università di Pavia and StartupItalia, seeks to answer these and other questions regarding the role, penetration and strategic relevance of these executives featuring the highest-level responsibility for the innovative processes of businesses. After the first preliminary results based on public data, published in September 2019, this second phase of the study offers a more in-depth look at the background, the stories and the results achieved by CinOs in Italy, thanks to a representative sample of 155 executives with this kind of role, who were consulted through interviews and questionnaires. Some figures on the relevance of the sample involved: taken together, these 155 CinOs manage 4,443 “innovation people”. The companies represented earned €114 billion in revenues in 2018 (50% of Finland’s GDP, more than the whole GDP of Kuwait). The unpublished results of this second phase — which provide a number of confirmations and many surprises — will be presented for the first time on December 16, 2019 during #SIOS19.

The presentation of StartupItalia data on investments in Italian startups for the last 12 months, number of rounds, investments, impact on the number of jobs created by the innovation ecosystem.

The 100 Best Italian Startups and the Best Italian Startup for 2019, chosen by a jury of 100 experts, will be unveiled.

Pegasus Venture will hold the Italian finals of the Startup World Cup during the StartupItalia Open Summit.

The presentation of the 2018 AlmaLaurea study on data regarding the growth of female presence within STEM industries. Compared to 15 years ago, 5x more women today get a 3-year graduate degree in STEM disciplines (16,848 3,398 in 2004). Professional work and retributions are where the gender gap begins.

How does the labor market change because of technology? Using tech to our advantage instead of fearing it will be the theme of the meeting with Corrado Passera, founder of Illimity and CEO and former Ministry of the Italian government, and Luciano Floridi, Professor of Information Philosophy and Ethics and Director of the Digital Ethics Lab of the Oxford University.
From its main stage, Università Bocconi will open the doors of the Bocconi-B4i incubator.
