How can we recover after the pandemic? How should we promote “Made in Rome” and “Made in Italy” abroad? The Roma Capital Department for Economic Development and Labour is launching its first Civic Challenge as part of the Roma Smart City Plan. Next Wednesday, July 14, from 11 am to 1 pm, local companies will work on the identification of strategies and tools to integrate the quality of the “Made in Rome” brand with e-commerce models for high quality products and services [see news: Civic Challenge].
The worktables will be open to public and private agencies, enterprises, third sector organisations and all citizens. Everyone is invited to participate in the identification of priorities, needs, innovative ideas and civic participation.
To participate in the work groups, you will need to register and select a group:
- Food Industry and Craftsmanship
- Restaurants and Tourist Services
