With “Italian Talents Abroad” (TIE) – a network that includes both authoritative representatives and young people who are forging brilliant careers for themselves outside Italy – Aspen aims to tackle a variety of challenges. The group brings together some of the most significant experiences accumulated by Italians abroad, helping to build increasingly global professional skills, and boosting Italy’s ability to present itself on the international stage as a country-system.
The Community of Italian Talents Abroad was set up by Aspen in 2009 and comprises players from a broad range of sectors such as large corporations, start-ups, the world of finance, academia, research and institutions. It is constantly growing, with new participants and new areas of expertise. Its current members come from thirty-four different countries, from every continent.
In addition to attending the Institute’s national and international events, the network’s members also take part in conferences devised expressly for them, thus enabling them to debate issues of common interest such as change in the workplace and its impact on education and training systems; the ecosytem comprising business, universities and research; artificial intelligence as a factor for growth; the future of smart cities, and so forth.
