On October 17 and 18, Parma will become the capital of Italian entrepreneurial excellence. The Top Italian Companies Forum will bring together 300 of the country's greatest industries, including Brembo (CEO Matteo Tiraboschi), Piaggio (President Matteo Colaninno), Marcegaglia Steel (President Antonio Marcegaglia), and Barilla. They were chosen through research on their economic performance, based on criteria such as growth rate, margins, and a balanced financial situation, as measured by six-year financial statements, but they are also confirmed as excellences in terms of innovation capacity and sustainability drive. These are one hundred firms with a revenue of 500 million to 10 billion euros, and two hundred Champions with a turnover of 20 to 500 million euros, in strategic Made in Italy industries such as metalworking, chemical-pharmaceutical, food and beverage, and textile-fashion-clothing. The entrepreneurs who guide them will intervene to explain their growth strategy.
