Bilateral German-Italian Workshop on Innovation
and Third Meeting of Osservatorio Innovazione e Credito of the Milan Chamber of Commerce
Friday, 25.09.2009

In the last week of September, Milan hosted not only the Fashion Week but also a Bilateral German-Italian Workshop on Innovation, staged on 25th September by ZENIT GmbH, the Institut zur Erforschung Wirtschaftlichen Verhaltens e.V., and the Camera di Commercio di Milano. The two countries already enjoy a close and successful working relationship, for example within the Enterprise Europe Network, and this co-operation formed the ideal backdrop for the workshop, which comprised a series of keynote speeches from leading lights in the German and Italian innovation landscape, including university professors, bankers and business consultants, and a roundtable discussion on innovation. The participants joined forces to sketch present and future scenarios and to exchange best practice examples. A particular highlight was the linking of the event to a meeting of the Osservatorio Innovazione e Credito of the Milan Chamber of Commerce, a permanent committee of some 30 members who keep their finger on the pulse of innovation and finance, and are thus best positioned to forecast needs and trends in the local economy.
