NYC startups’ model versus the Italian and Israeli systems: that was the most interesting topic discussed last Thursday, June 17 at the Italian cultural institute in New York. Here: the Italian Consul General Natalia Quintavalle says that “Tech and the City” – by Maria teresa Cometto and Alessandro Piol (available on Amazon.com) – has become her “Bible” to understand what’s going on in New York and to help her promote business and investments between Italy & the US; and Riccardo Viale, the director of the Italian cultural institute, says how important the collaboration among entrepreneurs and academic institutions in the three countries — US, Italy and Israel — is.
