Southern Italy has great economic potential. Not only because it is a land of extraordinary natural and cultural treasures, but also because of its talented young people, its cutting-edge innovative startups, its universities and top manufacturing clusters. Thanks to the digital boom, and a centuries-old tradition of high education and creativity, the South has what it takes to become an engine of development for the rest of Italy - and the continent. This is the subject of the webinar "The South, Italy's techno-scientific engine", to be held on 28 May from 14:00 to 18:10 on Zoom (in Italian). It will be moderated by journalist Valentina Saini, and the keynote speaker will be Mattia Barbarossa, founder and CEO of Sidereus Space Dynamics, a space company headquartered in Salerno, Italy.

The webinar is organised by Bericus, an analysis and training company, with the support of Nextome, a high-tech company based in Puglia and specialised in RTLS. It will be structured around four round tables during which more than twenty speakers will discuss topics of great interest to entrepreneurs, startup founders and recent graduates from the South: from the mindset needed by those who want to found (and succeed with) a startup to the possible impact of AI on the economies of the southern regions, from the opportunities the world offers to graduates from the South, to how technologies will change our cities.

"The South has enormous economic and productive potential; as a high-tech company based in Puglia and working with organisations from all over the world, we want to help raise awareness of this as much as possible," said Domenico Colucci, co-founder and COO of Nextome. "For me, it is important to spread the message that you can be an innovative entrepreneur and stay in the South, even in small towns like Conversano in our case. Digital technologies offer new opportunities for growth and employment in this sense, as long as they are focused on the frontier of innovation".

According to Gabriele Catania, geopolitical analyst and president of Bericus, "Southern Italy can play a key role at national and European level in the coming decades, thanks to its human capital, its universities and top companies, its geographical position in the Mediterranean and a geopolitical context that favours phenomena such as nearshoring and friendshoring. But it needs infrastructure and a new narrative."
