California Innovation Experience

As a participant of a California Innovation program, you enter a network of forward-thinking students, thought-leaders, and business veterans passionate about participating in the future of Italian industries. California Innovation is an environment that fosters entrepreneurship and stimulates creativity because we believe that when young talents feel empowered they commit to achieving big goals. Throughout the year we bring groups of international students for experiential educational programs that take an in-depth look at Italy's value creation with thought leaders who have shaped successful academic or business practices to inspire entrepreneurial thinking.
