For more than 10 years Andrea I am an active part of the Fastweb Structured
Open Innovation evolution, supporting the scouting and introduction of new
emerging technologies such as Big Data, Blockchain and Artificial Intelligence.
I managed calls for idea, crowdfunding, hackathons, design thinking processes
and the inception of digital projects then delivered to business lines for the
industrialization and commercialization.
Today, as Strategy & Innovation Manager, I coordinate the Corporate Venture
Building program Fastweb NeXXt Ventures, a process that accelerates and creates
startups to ad to Fastweb's investment portfolio. At the same time, I manage the
relationships with external Open Innovation and Corporate Venture teams, also
mentoring entrepreneurs both inside and outside the company to accelerate the
success of their pre-seed and seed projects.
Meanwhile I continue to be involved in the scouting and evaluation of new
emerging technologies adjacent to Fastweb core business.
