PMI DAY USA - Dallas, Texas
Nov. 25, 2024
Quindicesima Giornata Nazionale delle Piccole e Medie Imprese Italiane - PMI DAY 2024 in U.S. - info e ringraziamenti
Gentili Signore, Egregi Signori,
il PMI DAY giunge alla sua quindicesima edizione e prosegue con numeri sempre in crescita. Al via oggi la Giornata Nazionale delle Piccole e Medie Imprese, organizzata da Piccola Industria Confindustria insieme alle associazioni del Sistema, con una serie di iniziative messe in campo in tutte le regioni italiane, programmate anche in altre date. 1250 le imprese coinvolte, circa 700 le scuole medie e superiori e oltre 50mila i partecipanti. In campo tutte le Associazioni territoriali del Sistema che hanno aderito all’iniziativa insieme a Federchimica e Assosistema.
L’attenzione rimane puntata sull’impegno delle imprese nel raccontarsi ai giovani attraverso incontri e visite guidate in azienda che coinvolgono, oltre agli studenti, anche insegnanti, famiglie, istituzioni locali e stampa. Un appuntamento fisso in cui le imprese riaffermano il loro ruolo di attore sociale sul territorio e lanciano ancora una volta l’allarme sull’enorme gap di competenze e figure professionali tecnico-scientifiche che affligge il Paese. Dal 2010, anno di nascita della manifestazione, le Pmi di Confindustria hanno aperto le loro porte complessivamente a più di 550mila ragazzi. L’iniziativa, curata da Claudia Sartirani, coordinatore nazionale del Pmi Day Piccola Industria, con il supporto di un gruppo di lavoro dedicato, è inserita nella XXIII Settimana della Cultura d’impresa, organizzata da Confindustria e nella Settimana Europea delle Pmi promossa dalla Commissione Europea.
L’edizione 2024 ha come focus “Costruire”. Costruire consapevolezza delle proprie aspirazioni e delle opportunità per realizzarle. Costruire sapere per affrontare con le giuste competenze e con fiducia il lavoro di oggi e quello di domani. Costruire innovazione ponendo i nuovi strumenti digitali e l’intelligenza artificiale al servizio di creatività, immaginazione e conoscenza. Costruire il dialogo e lo scambio tra culture e popoli diversi e relazioni positive nella scuola, nella professione e nella società. Costruire nuove opportunità di business per crescere come impresa e per contribuire sempre di più allo sviluppo economico e sociale dei territori e del Paese. Costruire sostenibilità pensando al benessere delle generazioni future e nuove competenze per gestire il cambiamento, valorizzando capacità innovativa e punti di forza del saper fare italiano.
A partire dal 2021 la manifestazione ha ottenuto il patrocinio del Ministero dell’Istruzione e del Merito e della Conferenza delle Regioni e delle Province Autonome. Da anni, inoltre, prosegue la partnership con Confagricoltura in alcuni territori - Alessandria, Asti, Bergamo, Brescia, Latina e Taranto - per raccontare la realtà dell’impresa anche nel settore agricolo.
L’impronta internazionale della manifestazione è confermata, per il settimo anno consecutivo, dal patrocinio del Ministero degli Affari Esteri e della Cooperazione Internazionale. Dal 2015, infatti, il PMI day si svolge anche all’estero, per il secondo anno in Brasile in collaborazione con il Consolato Generale d’Italia a San Paolo, e in particolare negli USA dove la Miami Scientific Italian Community ha organizzato una serie di iniziative in collaborazione con l’Ambasciata d’Italia a Washington D.C. e la sua Rete Diplomatica Consolare, ABROAD TO - The Community of Italian Companies, la California Scientific Italian Community, ODLI - Organization for the Development of Italian Studies e la Texas Scientific Italian Community. Confermata anche per questa edizione la collaborazione con le rappresentanze internazionali di Confindustria Albania, Bulgaria e Serbia.
Vincenzo Arcobelli Rappresentante del Consiglio Generale degli Italiani all’estero ed il Sottosegretario delle Imprese e del Made In Italy Fausta Bergamotto porteranno il loro saluto dall’evento di Dallas ed ai Vostri autorevoli interventi di apertura e alle numerose aziende italiane, seguiranno le testimonianze dei miei Colleghi di Confindustria, Teresa Caradonna, Caradonna Logistic e Vice Presidente Nazionale Piccola Industria, in Texas. Stefano Zapponini Guida Monaci e Claudio Novebaci Star Italia Accelerator, da Miami.
La partecipazione delle PMI italiane operanti negli Stati Uniti avrà una finestra temporale che va dal 22 di novembre al 7 di gennaio. Il numero degli studenti varia significativamente da un minimo di 18 a un massimo di 40 per evento. Ancora bene i field trip presso le aziende cosi come la presenza degli imprenditori presso le scuole ed i collegamenti tramite le piattaforme.
A voi tutti, la mia più sincera gratitudine.
Un caro saluto e buon PMI DAY in U.S.

A Miami gli Stati Generali delle Associazioni dei Ricercatori Italiani all’estero:
“L’Italia chiama”
Sabato, 28 Settembre, 2024
Il 28 Settembre 2024 si terranno a Miami, in Florida-USA, gli Stati Generali delle Associazioni dei Ricercatori Italiani all’Estero, un momento emozionante della vita associativa di tutte le Associazioni dei Ricercatori Italiani all’estero che lavoreranno, unite, per rendere l’Italia ancora più competitiva. Insieme, saranno tracciati percorsi e progetti di crescita, fornendo il proprio punto di vista per il sostegno della Ricerca Italiana all’estero e sarà un’occasione di confronto per tutti gli addetti ai lavori, pubblici e privati.
Le Associazioni dei Ricercatori Italiani all’Estero promuovono da sempre, la collaborazione con Enti e Istituzioni straniere al fine di far partecipare le Università e i Centri di Ricerca Italiani ai programmi di ricerca e alle attività dei principali organismi internazionali che operano in ambito scientifico e tecnologico, fornendo, altresì, competenze e conoscenze per la definizione di standard tecnici.
Gli Stati Generali saranno un’occasione per tutte le Associazioni dei Ricercatori Italiani all’Estero di partecipare a una giornata di mobilitazione generale davvero importante, volta ad ascoltare i vari rappresentanti dei ricercatori italiani all’estero e a contribuire all’elaborazione di un percorso e di un progetto da proporre al Governo Italiano per l’attivazione di nuove e proficue sinergie.
L'unico intervento in programma sarà quello del Prof. Luigi Nicolais, la cui intramontabile passione e il riconosciuto prestigio scientifico e intellettuale ne fanno uno degli scienziati italiani più citati al mondo.
È necessaria una partnership sicura, un miglioramento delle modalità di promozione dei brevetti, il coinvolgimento nelle opportunità dei finanziamenti europei e internazionali e la creazione di una struttura all’estero che sia al servizio anche delle PMI tecnologicamente avanzate.
Le sessioni dedicate ai cinque Gruppi di lavoro saranno ricche di emozioni per la discussione di idee e soluzioni concrete su aree di interesse per le Associazioni.
Le associazioni condurranno un’analisi socioeconomica territoriale per fornire dati utili al posizionamento e al benchmarking. Sulla base di questa fotografia socioeconomica, i partecipanti agli Stati Generali lavoreranno in gruppi sui seguenti temi:
Tabella 1: Cluster e le specializzazioni attuali e previste del territorio
Tabella 2: Rafforzare l’ecosistema italiano dell’innovazione
