“We have to learn (we women, first and foremost) that collaborating is better than competing, especially when we talk about innovation and access to capital. Helping each other; measuring ourselves to those who are further along in their careers is crucial.” According to our Head, Clelia Tosi, this is the key to overcome obstacles women leaders face every day. Much can and must still be done to incentivize female entrepreneurship in our industry, but numbers are positive. Read more about it in the latest article by Viceversa: https://lnkd.in/dEhMukQd

On Monday, our Head - Clelia Tosi - had the pleasure to be part of the workshop “Fintech: Dialogue, Innovation, Future” organized by Banca d'Italia - Eurosistema. These are the main highlights we had the opportunity to share: 👉 The ecosystem is maturing, we could say it is in a “teenage” age 👉 Fintech is expanding and it is increasingly interesting, not only for the Financial Services world but also for other industries (Utilities, Automotive and Telco in primis) 👉 BaaS and Embedded finance are crucial right now 👉 Partnerships between fintech and corporate are the way forward for the growth and development of the Italian ecosystem (we had more than one example in 2024). Starting from a commercial partnership, it is possible to move to an industrial partnership, all the way to M&A and investment 👉 We are seeing a strong interest of international companies and investors willing to enter our country (mostly in Payments, Neo Banks and Services dedicated to SMEs). Our Soft Landing Program shows it with more than 250 meetings with international companies and more than 30 of them entered our community. 👉 New regulations (Dora, FIDA, Micar primarily) are and will be a great opportunity to rethink business models and integration strategies with third parties Thanks to Banca d'Italia - Eurosistema for inviting as and to the speakers for such a great discussion: Paola Giucca, Stefano Cappiello, Laura Grassi, Camilla Cionini Visani. During the workshop, the survey launched by Banca d'Italia - Eurosistema on unsupervised fintech operators was presented, to explore the market and analyze the products and services offered by Italian operators.
