Italia Innovation’s research is characterized by its unique dual network of excellence: a collaboration with international academic institutions and a carefully curated group of local stakeholders in Italy.

This structure allows us to bridge the gap between cutting-edge global research and the dynamic realities of Italy’s economy and society. Our expertise lies in field research, where we connect the forefront of international academic inquiry, particularly in the social sciences, with Italy’s living lab—a country rich in history, evolving in the present, and shaping its future.

Our role is to act as a conduit, bringing together the insights of international scholars—students, researchers, and professors—with the nuanced perspectives of Italian business leaders, policymakers, and social influencers. By doing so, we aim to be the go-to resource for local stakeholders seeking a global lens on their value and relevance in the world, and for international researchers looking to deepen their understanding of areas where Italy is at the forefront.
