June 2025: a month of technology, culture and visions for the future
With the arrival of June, Italy becomes a vibrant crossroads of ideas, technologies and innovation. From north to south, the month opens under the sign of change, creative exploration and discussion on the most pressing issues of our time: artificial intelligence, sustainability, circular economy, the future of startups and digital culture.
From the very first days, Bologna becomes the beating heart of innovation with We Make Future (4-6 June), one of the reference events at European level, where AI, investment and new technologies are intertwined in a global stage. On June 5, online, the focus shifts to writing and creativity with the webinar “Prove you’re human”, which investigates the implications of AI in narrative processes.
The mid-month marks a strong acceleration: between Florence, Turin and Milan there are many events for those who live and build the tech world. From legal and financial support of the Legal & DPO Point (10 June), to the great news of the SIOS25 Summer (11 June) which brings to Turin its entrepreneurial and visionary spirit, up to the confrontation on the future of electronics and automotive with the event Driving Circularity in Milan, always on 11 June.
In the meantime, brand identity and positioning strategies become protagonists on 12 June in Florence, while on 19 and 20 June Lecce hosts Sud Up – Innovazioni da Sud, a valuable opportunity to discover how the South is becoming an increasingly fertile breeding ground for businesses and ideas.
To close the month, on 30 June, Genoa takes stock of cultural innovation with the CTE’s Demo Day, in which startups and SMEs present tech solutions for the valorization of Liguria’s heritage.
June is not just the beginning of summer: it’s also the time when technology takes shape, confronts, changes the rules of the game – and invites to participate.
