Institutional Breakfast
Deloitte launches a series of high-level events to foster public-private dialogue on key strategic geopolitical and economic dossiers
In a global context marked by geopolitical fragmentation and the realignment of value chains, the quality of dialogue between the public and private sectors is becoming a decisive competitive factor. As part of a collaboration with International Strategic Network and Associated Medias Press Agency, Deloitte has launched the “Institutional Breakfast” event series, designed to stimulate privileged dialogue between institutions, international diplomacy and the business community on key strategic topics for the European Union and the Italian National System.
