Festival of Economics: Four Days with Trento at the Center of National and International Debate
The 19th edition of the Festival of Economics in Trento concluded today. It was organized by Gruppo 24 ORE and Trentino Marketing on behalf of the Autonomous Province of Trento, with contributions from the Municipality of Trento and the University of Trento.
This year's theme, "Quo Vadis? The Dilemmas of Our Time,” has reaffirmed the festival's status as a cultural and intellectual reference point on national and international levels. Through a robust program, the festival has enabled numerous guests to ask the right questions and seek answers to pressing contemporary issues.
The orange-hued streets welcomed a diverse audience spanning generations and expertise. The festival's open and free cultural and scientific offerings are its hallmark, allowing a broad and cross-sectional audience to analyze the present and take a look at the future. Among the participants, families and their children enthusiastically engaged in the "Fuori Festival" activities, and over a thousand high school students profited from the panels for educational growth and dialogue. True to its tradition, the festival has solidified its position as a strategic event for discussing major international economic and political issues.
The festival's impressive numbers include 700 speakers and moderators who participated in 330 events over four days – about 50 more than last year. The program spanned the main festival, “Fuori Festival”, “Economie dei Territori”, “Meetings with the Author”, and Radio 24’s live events. The discussions on “Quo Vadis” covered the world, from Europe to the Middle East, China to America, thanks to contributions from five Nobel laureates, 20 ministers, over 80 academic speakers, 40 leading international and national economists, 60 representatives of national and European institutions, 40 international speakers, and over 60 managers and entrepreneurs from major Italian and multinational companies.
