The event

The aim of this event, inserted within the full agenda of “Innovation House” and Expo2020, is to strengthen Politecnico di Milano’s ties with the United Arab Emirates, and to spread the research topics and programmes at the university’s School of Management.

The topic of Expo2020, “Connecting Minds, Creating the Future”, is an appeal to all countries to build a better future, looking to new technology, mobility and sustainability. This concept coincides with the vision held by Politecnico’s School of Management, which has been engaged in multidisciplinary work on these subjects.

The main topics covered at the event are Industry 4.0, climate change, sustainable development and sustainable finance, innovation and entrepreneurship. Real examples of the School of Management’s approach to research will be presented at the event, underlining its blueprint which combines rigour with the strong will to make a true impact on society.
