  • Alessandra Gritti, Vice President and CEO of TIP

  • Angelica Pellizzari, Group CFO and Executive Board Member at Immobiliare.it

  • Marilisa D’Amico, Lawyer and Full Professor of Constitutional Law

  • The role of the third sector

  • Female empowerment in the workplace

  • Women, artificial intelligence, and innovation
