Each meeting will focus on a different area of innovation – from territorial attractiveness to urban futures, from tourism to wellness – with the contribution of experts, companies, and regional Clust-ERs.

This initiative represents a unique opportunity for students, graduates, and young professionals to discover the opportunities offered by the Emilia-Romagna region, learn more about the most dynamic sectors of its innovation ecosystem, and understand which skills will be most valuable for the future.

The webinars aim to address some of the key questions for those approaching the job market:

• Which skills will be increasingly in demand in the coming years?
• How are strategic sectors evolving and what career opportunities do they offer?
• What tools and strategies can help in building innovative and impactful careers?

Through dialogue with experts, companies, and innovation actors, the series will provide concrete insights and guidance to anyone looking to design their future career path in line with global trends and local opportunities.
