The series will then continue with discussions on the world of fashion and luxury, opportunities in the space economy, working in a multinational corporation, current events in blockchain, and with guests such as Bocconi alumnas Federica Tremolada, Managing Director Southern & Eastern Europe at Spotify, and Veronica Diquattro, Executive Vice President Southern Europe at DAZN.

The initiative is part of the collaboration between FT and Bocconi that has seen three editions of the FTxBocconi Talent Challenge, with young talents from around the world competing with innovative ideas, and the 'Future World' video masterclass series, with Bocconi faculty discussing the megatrends impacting our society today.
