INNOVATION IN ACTION: how to unlock the potential of the startup ecosystem
     
  A great way to conclude PWN’s Empowering Talks series in 2017 with a vibrant and energetic discussion on open innovation last November 22nd.
Accenture Italia hosted PWN Milan in their beautiful offices for an event focused on innovation, its opportunities and the various stakeholders of the innovation ecosystem. Danilo Mazzara, Accenture, outlined recent trends and data of open innovation in Italy. One of their recent findings show that startups with a female founder perform 63% better than those with all-male founding teams. Another confirmation that diversity has an economic value!

The panel discussion, moderated by journalist Maria Chiara Furlò, involved all-female representatives of the various actors in the innovation ecosystem. Elena Galletti, TWT, and Martina Palmese, QVC, represented companies that use open innovation to increase their processes. Mary Franzese, NeuronGuard, and Marianna Poletti, JustKnock.it, presented their two successful startups and how they can help companies in their innovation path. Francesca Perrone, UniCredit Start Lab, shared the experience of the bank in leveraging connections between the corporate world and the startups.
Great buzz on social media during the evening, with a lot of enthusiasm and inspiration from the stories of the panelists.

See you next year, with a new series of PWN’s Empowering Talks, on the file rouge of "The Future".
