ISSNAF, the Italian Scientists and Scholars in North America Foundation, and Intesa Sanpaolo, the leading banking group in Italy and one of the top banking groups in the Euro zone, strongly believe in the fundamental importance of re-thinking how our global economy works and of re-designing the way stuff is made. To do so, the two Institutions are bolstering a collective effort on this amazing journey and they are seeking to promote the best innovative ideas for concrete scalable solutions.

This is why Intesa Sanpaolo and ISSNAF have encouraged all Italian researchers currently working in the United States or Canada to submit their application for the co-sponsored “Award for Innovation & Circular Economy”. Through the “ISSNAF and Intesa Sanpaolo Award for Innovation & Circular Economy” the US community can lever on a distinctive network and passion for innovation in finance, a key enabler to shape the prosperity of the 21st century.
