As we look towards the second half of 2023, several important issues stand out that will likely have a significant impact on society, the environment, and the global community. The annual Workshop of the Council for the US and Italy “The Future of Globalization: Politics, Business, Lifestyle, Brands” will take place in Milan on the 19th-20th June 2023 to address the most pressing issues of our time. The event will kickstart with a welcome dinner on June 19 between 7:30-10:30 p.m. and will continue the next day with the participation of industry experts, international academics, institutional figures and business leaders who will discuss some of the most pressing issues such as artificial intelligence, geopolitical tensions, space exploration and the economic outlook.
