Who we are
Fondazione NOVA is the leading pro-bono player in the open talent ecosystem, focused on supporting development, education and meritocracy in Italy.
Our Mission
Our Mission is to create the Italian talent ecosystem champion, a truly meritocratic accelerator of Italy’s talent pipeline that supports all talents, across different age groups, to achieve their maximum potential through education, mentorship and strong collaboration between the business and academic communities.
We aim to enforce meritocracy as a core value of the career system, optimize the allocation gap between talent supply and demand, and bridge the opportunity gap that currently exists in our country.
Our Vision
We envision Italy as an open ecosystem that can attract and nurture the most brilliant minds from all over the word and bring back those that can contribute to the growth of our country and the realization of this dream.
We seek to revitalize the spirit of young talents to recreate the atmosphere that we experienced within poles of excellence around the world and that allowed us to grow, improve ourselves and develop the desire to contribute to our community.

The Event
NOVA-MBA XXII CONFERENCE
New York City
11-13th November 2022
“Bounce Back Better: Italy’s Rebirth Post-COVID”
Context of NOVA XXI Conference
During this period of political and economic uncertainty, Italians have demonstrated a distinctive resilience and the ability to turn challenges into opportunities.
While the pandemic has caused unprecedented disruption to Italy and its economy, it has also created new paths for growth. We believe there are three main trends that will help accelerate Italy’s rebirth:
• Private Equity investments
• Energy transition
• Technological innovation
NOVA 2022 MBA Conference will act as the main stage for students, entrepreneurs, and global leaders to discuss how the Italian landscape can be transformed to future-proof the economy.
This event will engage senior speakers who embed NOVA’s values and are committed to the long-term success of our community.
