"When we decide to invest, we look for the best innovators, the best entrepreneurs, for those who are doing their best to provide answers to the most important challenges of our times. This is why my team is here today. We believe that the work that is being done at the Officina – New Jobs Workshop is outstanding and can become a global model."
These are the enthusiastic words used by Jacquelline Fuller, Director of Google.org, at the event to present the results obtained after the first six months of activities at the Officina – New Jobs Workshop.
