Entrepreneurship today is the first international conference organized by the E-Lab.
This event aims at opening the debate on entrepreneurship in Italy. The focus is on the role of entrepreneurship in fostering innovation among the enterprises that operate in our region. For this reason we have invited international experts both from the academia and the business world.
Considering the importance of this event, the E-Lab has decided that participants in this first symposium will not be charged any fee.
