About Silicon Valley Study Tour Network

Welcome

In August 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 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, employment opportunities, incubators and start ups.

The main spin off are: Aizoon by Franco Cornagliotto -Marenco is Aizoon's Director since its birth in October 2005 - The Hub Milan by Nicolò Borghi, The Hub Rovereto by Jari Ognibeni, Creonomy by Nicolò Borghi and Corrado Alesso, Alabs by Mattia Accornero, HK Horticultural Knowledge by Emanuele Pierpaoli, all founded by SVST Alumni, after their attendance.

Carlo Alberto Pratesi, marketing Professor of Roma Tre University, after attending the SVST 2007 and 2008, launched in Rome in 2009 Innovaction Lab with Paolo Merialdo and Augusto Coppola, great school of entrepreneurship for wannabe startuppers. 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.

On May 26th, 2012, all the Alumni meet in Genova University, School of Engineering, where the project was born, in 2005.

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.
