After the success of the past edition, Istituto Marangoni kicks off IM Entrepreneurial Lab, a series of events to explore international issues relating to entrepreneurial culture, designed to support Istituto Marangoni students who are about to join the Alumni Community and eager to start their own business.

The meetings started in November and will continue until April next year, involving an Advisory Committee made up of Istituto Marangoni Alumni and renowned fashion experts; they will address various entrepreneurship topics by sharing their expertise and the experience gained as part of their career.

Final year students from three-year and Master’s courses at the 3 Italian Schools will interact with experts including Laura Puricelli • IM Alumna, Digital Strategy & Innovation Mentor for luxury brands, Yana Bushmeleva • IM Alumna & COO @Fashionbi, Giusy Cannone • CEO @Fashion Technology Accelerator, Arturo Meglio • Partner @K&L Gates Studio, Ottavio Maria Campigli • Partner @Badenoch+Clark Executive and Stefano Galassi • Managing Director @Startupbootcamp FashionTech.

The project embraces the needs of an increasing number of talented creatives who decide to launch their own brand at the end of their academic career and aims to help train Istituto Marangoni students, fostering the development of an entrepreneurial mindset, providing practical support with business management and encouraging the creation of an internal and external network for the young entrepreneurs of tomorrow.
