The future of business is increasingly shaped by innovation and artificial intelligence. That will be the focus of the 13th edition of InnovAzioni, Italy’s innovation festival, taking place October 22–23 at the Aurum in Pescara.
The two-day event will bring together businesses, startups, researchers, students, and industry professionals to explore the technologies and new skills transforming the way companies operate and make decisions. This year’s theme, “Intelligent Business: AI Agents and New Decision-Making Models,” will focus on the growing role of artificial intelligence in business processes and organizational strategies.
Among the keynote speakers will be our President, Fabio De Furia (who also leads Star Italia Accelerator), participating in the international panel discussion “AI Agents for Business: Global Ecosystems and Capital.” He will bring to the festival his extensive international expertise in innovation, research, technology, and Italy-U.S. business and academic relations. Our participation will enrich the conversation with a global perspective, creating a strategic bridge between the local innovation ecosystem and the dynamic American technology and research landscape.
InnovAzioni will also feature Campioni di InnovAzioni, the national competition showcasing innovative projects developed by small and medium-sized businesses, startups, and university spin-offs. Twenty finalists will have the opportunity to take the stage at the Aurum and present their projects in five-minute pitches.
The program will also include the ninth edition of the Innovation Hackathon and a new award dedicated to ITS institutions in Abruzzo, further strengthening the connection between education, young talent, technology, and the business community.
InnovAzioni is designed not only for technology professionals, but for anyone interested in understanding how innovation is reshaping the business world. Artificial intelligence is already becoming part of everyday operations for many companies, and the next challenge is learning how to integrate these technologies effectively into business processes and long-term strategies.
For two days, Pescara will become a meeting point for businesses, startups, researchers, and the next generation of innovators creating opportunities to exchange ideas, build connections, and explore how today’s technologies can become tomorrow’s opportunities.
