About Silicon Valley Study Tour Network
Welcome
In 2005, La Storia nel Futuro and SVIEC (the Silicon Valley Italian Executive Council) teamed up to launch the very first Silicon Valley Study Tour.
Paolo Marenco, President of La Storia nel Futuro and a representative of Aizoon, Italy's first and only officially approved IT staff leasing firm, and Jeff Capaccio, Chair of the highly influential, 400 plus member, SVIEC, created a thoughtful series of seminars, taught by top executives from some of the Silicon Valley's most cutting-edge startups, well established technology giants and prestigious venture capital firms, to expose graduate and graduating engineering and business students, from leading Italian Universities, to the unique entrepreneurial culture of the Silicon Valley.
The results have exceeded Paolo’s and Jeff's expectations, producing multiple internships, doctoral theses and employment opportunities. Most importantly, all of the participants return to Italy with a renewed excitement, new tools, new perspectives and a burning desire to one day succeed as entrepreneurs and technology executives.
In 2011, the Silicon Valley Study Tour organized 5 editions, between August and October, 1 for students and 4 for managers and Entrepreneurs, with 123 participants grads from 14 Italian Universities, managers and entrepreneurs from Italian Companies.
The partnership with Assolombarda, ALDAI, AIB Brescia, Federmanager Academy, Confindustria Marche opened the project to italian managers and entrepreneurs.
229 are the Alumni, since the beginning in 12 editions. Plans exist to expand the tour in 2012.
Since 2009 La Storia nel Futuro and SVIEC support NIAF in organizing Italy Study Tours for American Italian Undergrads, to discover the tech excellence of Italy. The first edition has been in June 2009, for 34 US students to Genova, Torino and Milano. The second edition, supported by Italian Miniter of Foreign Affairs, has been in October 2011, for 4 Students to Sicily and Genova
Our Goal
The Silicon Valley Study Tour seeks to create and maintain an important bridge between young graduates, researchers, business angels, "start-uppers", managers and entrepreneurs from Italy with the many successful Italian and Italian American high tech, biotech and venture capital executives in the Silicon Valley. SVIEC plays a critical role in fostering this bridge as it remains the only organization to have assembled the top Italian and Italian American high tech, biotech and venture capital executives, all of whom serve as outstanding role models, mentors and potential business partners for Italy's next generation of entrepreneurs and technology executives.
