Exor Ventures’ Post

In 2021 we literally shot for the moon on so many different levels. Internally, we launched Vento. We realised talking about tech and educating people about innovation was not enough anymore, we wanted to have an active role in the future of entrepreneurship in Italy. Vento became the Italian chapter of Exor Ventures focused on scouting the brightest minds to build disruptive new businesses. While we were pushing Italian founders to go from a challenge to a moonshot, we organised the third edition of ITW. And who comes to mind when you think about shooting for the moon? Or maybe we should say Mars? Yes, you got it right. Elon Musk was the main guest of Italian Tech Week in 2021. “I encourage people to be optimistic, take the actions that will create a good future, and we will have one” was the main takeaway from the conversation between John Elkann and Elon Musk. And judging from the increasing number of incredible founders with great ideas we’ve seen since that moment (you know who you are!), we can definitely say the message was well received. As you enjoy these pictures from 2021, get ready for ITW 2023, only 13 days away!
