Promoting Biotech Companies in Italy - Nucleate x UIS collaboration
In Italy, the biotech sector has demonstrated immense potential for growth which extends to various areas significantly impacting the academic and industrial sectors, fostering a new era of innovation and progress.
A crucial aspect of unlocking Italy’s potential is nurturing and supporting the next generation of academics and researchers, providing them with the education, resources, and mentorship they need to develop groundbreaking technologies.
Nucleate’s mission goes in this direction to facilitate the formation of pioneering life science companies by empowering young academics and entrepreneurs with the resources and support they need to succeed.
In this event UIS and Nucleate collaborated to bring esteemed guests Stefano Angioletti-Uberti, Francesco Moiraghi, Fabrizio Ticchiarelli to talk about the challenges and advancements within the Italian biotechnology landscape.

Italian Symposium - Celebrating Italian Excellence, Inspiring the Next Generation.
We had great hopes for the symposium’s success, but we never could have thought it would turn out the way it did!
The 2023 Italian Symposium showcased renowned leaders in the fields of politics, art, journalism, business, and finance through a series of panel discussions and talks over the course of several days.
With its first edition, students from our universities had the opportunity to engage discourse and exchange ideas with our esteemed guests who are experts in their respective fields.
This Symposium was intended for our student community, however, we extended a warm welcome to students of all nationalities and backgrounds. Our esteemed speakers are individuals who have made, and continue to make, a significant impact on Italian society, both domestically and internationally. Their expertise span across a diverse range of industries.
We would like to thank the LSESU Italian Society for partnering with us in the organisation of this event. Their team was fundamental in the success of the Symposium.
As always, this diverse cast of panels, whose hosts have once more given invaluable suggestions and insights into their respective fields, could not have been achieved without the help of our amazing sponsors. We would therefore like to dedicate a special thanks from the UIS team to SDG Group UK , Belluzzo International Partners, Casa Londra, Macron and Majani 1796 Spa, for the continued to support and trust in our projects.
