How to attend to the Silicon Valley Study Tour- SVST

[paolo marenco]

Since 2005 some italian Universities- Politecnico di Torino, Università di Genova, Università di Bologna, Università del Piemonte Orientale di Novara, Università di Roma 3, Università di Brescia, Università di Palermo, Università di Catania - promoted conference cycles held by managers and entrepreneurs of their cities and regions, to spread among their students  their relevant experience. At the end of the conference cycles, organized with the cultural association La Storia nel Futuro www.storianelfuturo.org that invented the project in 1998, a selected  number of participants,  students or graduates that attendeed all the conferences held in that University, could participate to the SVST.

The selection is made also by the Discussion Forum about the conference topics, held in this SN.

This selected group participate to one week Silicon Valley Study Tour Study organized by La Storia nel Futuro and www.sviec.org , the Silicon Valley Italian Executive Council, end of August of every year.

The tour foresees the visit to 8-10 companies and start ups, incubators, and the Universities of Stanford and Berkeley. 12 SVST's have been organized since 2005, with the participation of 130 italian University students. The majority of them are the promoters of this Social Network, born in September 10th, 2007, thanks to the great human experience of the 3rd SVST, concluded September 8th. Administrator of the SN is its founder, Nicolò Borghi, attendee to SVST 2007 and 2008, after that start upper in Milan with The Hub and www.creonomy.com.

More than 100  Italian Managers and Entrepreneurs, operating in the Silicon valley and around the World, are Members of this Social Network.

Since 2011 also for Managers and Entrepreneurs is possible to attend to the SVST, thanks to the agreement between  La Storia nel Futuro  and the major Industrial and Manager Associations in Italy.

I try to explain the procedure, up to February 16. The next Study Tour ( August 25, Sept 5) will have a number , not yet defined, of graduate students from Genova , Torino, Bologna, Novara ( maybe Roma and Pisa) Universities. Every University has his own metodology to select the participants, that could be covered by a full or partial grant. PoliMilano- Acceleratore is thinking about a possibility to select his own candidates.
Moreover, depending the total number of participants we , as Social Network, could select one or more of our young Members to come in Study Tour. For this decision we have to see how many will be the participants selected by the Universities. There is a maximum number for the group, according to last year experience. Everybody interested is advised to have a Digital Passport for USA ready in time!!
