Description

Innovation in the healthcare sector is a strategic lever for the country's competitiveness. It drives profound change involving businesses, institutions, and local areas, requiring vision, targeted investment, and an ecosystem capable of leveraging research, technology, and expertise to develop solutions that meet the current and emerging needs of citizens.

In this context, the Life Sciences supply chain remains a key asset for Italy and Lombardy—where it accounts for 12.6% of the regional GDP—by generating social and economic value and ensuring high standards of care. The sector is driven by a robust culture of innovation and a network of stakeholders capable of translating advanced knowledge into practical health solutions.

On 23 July, the Assolombarda Monza Congress Centre will host an event dedicated to this topic, organised in collaboration with the Alumni Bocconi Monza Chapter. Through the direct insights of local businesses, we will explore how investment in health and innovation is a strategic factor for the competitiveness and sustainability of our national system.

The proceedings will be followed by a networking cocktail for all attendees.
