“There are already 55 companies that in eight years the Young Enterprises Award has involved and supported, thanks to our Partners, with mentorship services, communication, strategic and managerial consulting. Of these, about 50% are female companies with co-founders or female CEOs,” commented Stefania Lazzaroni, General Manager of Altagamma – Altagamma continues to mentor the future protagonists of high-end Italian companies, creating where possible, a dialogue between these companies and the most established Altagamma Members. Today, our sector is grappling with new logics and complex global challenges, which must be faced with the right tools”.
