LAB Creative Thinking at ItaliaRestartsUP during the SMAU, an event organized by ITA & ICE Italian government agencies
25/26 October 2016 – Italian Trade Agency, in partnership with SMAU International, offers Italian Startups, Incubators, Accelerators and Foreign Investors the opportunity of a two-days initiative, ItaliaReStartsUP 2016, composed of seminars, conferences, B2B sessions “face 2 face” and networking events.
Lab Creative Thinking has been invited to this event, with the opportunity, offered by ITA Italian Trade Agency and ICE Agenzia per la promozione all’estero e l’internazionalizzazione, to explain to foreign investors the peculiar and personalized way of operating of our accelerator. We have for this purpose brought in Joshua Priore, the founder of Worldz, to be a live testimonial of the effectiveness of our program.
