SACE, through its Academy, continues to invest in the development of specialised training courses dedicated to companies and future managers together with leading Italian university institutions. Thanks to the agreement signed with the Scuola Superiore Sant'Anna in Pisa, a collaboration has been consolidated that will see the development of joint research activities and training initiatives aimed at supporting the sustainable growth of companies, especially SMEs, in Italy and worldwide.

One of the objectives of the Scuola Superiore Sant'Anna is the development of culture and scientific and technological research in the business world, both nationally and internationally: the collaboration with SACE, within the framework of the SACE Education training hub, goes precisely in this direction. In detail, Scuola Superiore Sant'Anna and SACE will engage in the organisation of specialised training courses, conferences, and other public engagement initiatives on topical issues of common interest: from innovation to business management, from green transition to digital transformation and business internationalisation.
 

"Our mission is to strengthen the export and internationalisation culture of Italian companies, in particular SMEs, and we want to do this together with authoritative academic institutions such as the Scuola Superiore Sant'Anna," said Alessandra Ricci, CEO of SACE. "Today we are consolidating a partnership that has already been successfully launched, certain that it will help our companies to develop culture, strategies, and processes in the green and digital spheres, which are more important than ever today to grow securely in international markets.

"The Scuola Superiore Sant'Anna," stressed Rector Sabina Nuti, "is pleased to strengthen the joint path with SACE, in order to contribute to the consolidation of managerial skills in sectors that are now strategic and that find a common denominator in sustainability, declined in various ways: environmental, economic, social. On these topics the Scuola Superiore Sant'Anna has long been engaged in advanced training, frontier research and 'third mission' activities, aimed at both companies and society. From today, our institution will be able to make these competences available in a more structured manner, in order to favour the path of consolidation of the 'country system' on the global scenario'.
