This event will be in English in collaboration with Startup Grind Guadalajara.
The world has been forced to make dramatic changes in the last few months due to the coronavirus outbreak: production has changed, economies fear a global crisis, smart working has become more and more popular among companies. So how are innovation industries facing this situation around the globe? How should they change their products and possibly their way of thinking in order to face such a calamity? Is the pandemic going to make a fresh start necessary for companies?
We will be discussing about these and other related topics by making a comparison between the Mexican and the Italian industrial ecosystems. Laura Segarra, a designer, entrepreneur, innovator and manager, currently in charge of the entrepreneurship and innovation ecosystem (Zona Ei) in the central region of Tecnológico de Monterrey, will talk about the Mexican situation, while Daniele, Managing Director of Eelctron SpA, will analyze the Italian one.

Beatrice Del Col Balletto ha 20 anni ed è attualmente studentessa di scienze politiche e delle relazioni internazionali presso l’Università Cattolica del Sacro Cuore di Milano.
Dopo aver trascorso una parte di liceo in Germania a Berlino ed aver conseguito il diploma di liceo linguistico, Beatrice ha fondato il chapter della community di Startup Grind nella sua università per poter dare l’opportunità agli studenti di avere momenti di networking con imprenditori e startupper.
Il suo interesse nei confronti del mondo dell’innovazione è nato con il ruolo di International Communication manager per il chapter di Startup Grind Pisa & Lucca.
Uno dei suoi obiettivi infatti è, terminata la laurea triennale in Italia, prendere un master che riguardi proprio il percorso che ha intrapreso.
Quello su cui vorrebbe focalizzarsi è il creare una community solida che permetta ai ragazzi di entrare a contatto con il mondo delle startup e dell’innovazione, oltre che mettere in pratica quello che sta studiando e quindi lavorare con i governi per aiutare lo sviluppo dell’ecosistema delle startup.
