The Triple I initiative, consisting of a series of conversations between journalists and Italian entrepreneurs, was launched in May 2016 by the Embassy of Italy in London and is held on a monthly basis. Yesterday\u2019s conversation featured <strong>Riccardo Zacconi<\/strong>, the founder of King, a social-network and mobile-gaming company, made famous by the game Candy Crush Saga, and <strong>Massimo Sideri<\/strong>, an economic journalist and innovation editor at Corriere della Sera, who spoke before an audience of journalists and investors.<\/p>\n<p>The event was opened by the ambassador, <strong>Pasquale Terracciano<\/strong>, who explained that the discussion would focus on an iconic sector at the cutting edge of technological progress, one that is rarely associated with Italy: the creative high-tech industry. He pointed out that the developer of the first microprocessor, the inventor of the MP3 music format and the founders of the Logitech group, a world leader in the computer accessories, are all Italian.<\/p>\n<p>Massimo Sideri then opened the discussion with Riccardo Zacconi on technology, business and the current situation in Italy. Asked why Italy is home to so few technological start-ups, Zacconi gave an encouraging response. He explained that the problem in Italy is not a lack of funding, creative ideas or risk capacity, but rather a reticence to target international markets in the early stages of start-ups.\u00a0\u201cWe cannot stop evolution. We cannot stop the future,\u201d he said. \u201cIf we try to stop it, we will get left behind and someone else will do it.\u201d<\/p>\n<p>The evening ended with the presentation of <strong>Corriere della Sera\u2019s new weekly supplement<\/strong>, <strong>L\u2019Economia<\/strong>, which was presented by <strong>Massimo Fracaro<\/strong>, the chief editor of the magazine, and <strong>Michele Lovison<\/strong>, a graphic journalist. The publication is dedicated to economic and financial matters and presents an engaging graphic interface and user-friendly content to appeal to a diverse audience, demonstrating that there is space for innovation even in a traditional sector like paper-based publishing.<\/p>\n<p style=\"text-align: justify;\">\u00a0<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"The 11th &#8220;Triple I&#8221;\u00a0(Italian Imaginative Innovators) event was held yesterday evening at the Italian Embassy in London.
