Paolo Pio and Anna Fortuny-Gomez, PhD are in Milan ready for our LP and Family Office Aperitivo in collaboration with Speedinvest tomorrow evening. 🥳 We have kicked off the trip with the SME Tech Leaders Meetup organised by āltitude and Italian Founders Fund. The discussion was all about innovation, transformation, and the future of SMEs in Italy - and it’s clear that Italian entrepreneurs are more than ready for change! 🚀 We heard both success and failure stories, highlighting the critical importance of hiring the right people. We’re excited to see Italy embracing this digital transformation - and we’re here to support every step of the way! Thank you to Lorenzo Franzi and Marc Penkala for the kind invitation. We look forward for more! #ExceptionalVentures #SMETech #AI #DigitalTransformation #AltitudeVC #ItalianFoundersFund #VC

🏄What an incredible morning at Italian Tech Week with our Wellness Revolution panel! Paolo Pio set the stage with an overview of the HUGE $1.8 Trillion wellness market (McKinsey, 2024)! 😱 A wave driven by an ageing population, increasing healthcare constraints and costs, a shift from reactive to preventative care, and incredible scientific and technological breakthroughs. Anna Fortuny-Gomez, PhD led the conversation with Elisa Rossi, Virginia Stagni, Renato Circi, and Paolo. We discussed exciting trends and tech developments in the space. To wrap things up, Paolo even got the audience moving with a fun one-leg standing exercise - a reminder of how crucial balance is as we age! ⚖️ 🙏🏼 Thank you all for your beautiful energy. It was inspiring to see the audience reflect on their own journey towards a longer, healthier, and HAPPIER lives - and how we can maximise our JOYSPAN™️.
