Italy welfare and medtech sectors see strategic developments

welfare gap corporate welfare medtech investment biotech startups workforce transformation

At the Global Welfare Summit, industry leaders and scientific societies discussed the evolving role of welfare and prevention in Italy. Experts, including Laura Di Raimondo of Asstel and Stefano Cuzzilla of Terna, emphasized that corporate welfare should be viewed as a strategic tool for competitiveness and workforce retention rather than just a cost. Discussions focused on closing the ‘welfare gap’ between large corporations and small-to-medium enterprises (SMEs) through supply chain cooperation and collective bargaining.

In the healthcare sector, scientific societies are working to establish a national prevention guide to support the sustainability of the National Health Service (SSN) amid an aging population. Meanwhile, in the venture capital space, Panakès Partners has launched the Panakès Fund-Fondo Parallelo Lombardia, securing 8.5 million euros from Lombardia Venture STEP. This fund aims to support medtech and biotech startups in the Lombardy region to strengthen the local innovation ecosystem.
