GCN Investor Conference in Newport Beach, CA
OCT 15 · NEWPORT BEACH, CA
LIVE EVENT
Italy's leading economics and business university, at the centre of Milan's financial and design economy.
Bocconi is Italy's most prominent institution for economics, finance, and management, and its graduates are heavily represented across European finance and consulting.
Milan gives it proximity to Italy's financial centre and to the design, fashion, and manufacturing industries that define the country's export economy.
Milan is Italy's startup capital, with activity concentrated in financial technology, fashion and design technology, and industrial software.
Italy's ecosystem is smaller than those of France or Germany, but its manufacturing and design industries provide distinctive customer bases.
Alumni founders concentrate in financial technology, marketplaces, luxury and fashion technology, and business software.
The school's finance strength also places many graduates in investment roles across Europe, which benefits its founder community.
Milan hosts most of Italy's venture capital activity, supported by government co-investment programmes and corporate venture arms.
Companies scaling beyond Italy typically raise from London, Paris, or Berlin.
GCN’s global network includes millions of startups and founders and a broad community of investors, creating opportunities to discover potential connections across university communities.
