Opening Ceremony | Call Tech Action week 2026

On November 23, the Opening Ceremony, organised by I.C.E. – Innovation and Corporate Entrepreneurship Center, SDA Bocconi School of Management, in collaboration with Assofintech, will mark the start of the fourth edition of Call Tech Action Week, bringing together the Italian Fintech, Insurtech and Proptech ecosystem around three key themes: skills, education and innovation.
Originally established as an alliance between industry associations, universities and institutions, Call Tech Action has become an established platform for dialogue between the public and private sectors. Its aim is to bridge the gap between education and business, transforming technological innovation in financial, insurance and real estate services into skilled employment and growth for Italy.
The event “Intelligenza artificiale, imprese e finanza: l'Italia gioca in Europa” brings together representatives from institutions, academia, industry and startups. The morning sessions will provide an overview of the current state of the market, European regulatory developments and the skills that will be needed in the coming years. They will also introduce five days of workshops, meetings and opportunities for students, professionals and companies. A key highlight of the event will be the presentation of the 2026 research by the European FS Tech Hub at SDA Bocconi School of Management, focusing on Italy as a European platform for fintech. The afternoon will be dedicated to startups, key players in innovation, and entrepreneurship.
The ceremony will also provide an opportunity for all the promoters to renew their commitment to building, through collaboration, a more open, forward-looking innovation ecosystem capable of attracting talent.
