26th Kick-Off – Celebrating Italian Creativity
The Consulate General of Italy in Boston is delighted to present the second edition of STB Days, scheduled for October 7–9. This dynamic networking event will bring together scientists, engineers, entrepreneurs, investors, and the public to explore some of today’s most pressing challenges and transformations: advanced manufacturing, life sciences, and artificial intelligence.
Many other themes—including a session on architecture and construction similar to those we featured last year—were considered for this edition. We plan to include those topics in future events.
Please take a moment to review the outstanding lineup of speakers we have assembled for each topic and day, with more to be announced soon.
As with the previous edition, admission is free, but registration is required. Registration can be completed quickly by scanning the QR code on the attached flyers.
Building on the success of the Festival of Creativity and other important initiatives, STB Days aims to foster close cooperation between Italy and Boston’s vibrant science, technology, and innovation ecosystem, while celebrating the vital contributions of Italians and Italian Americans in these fields.
