Veneto Region and universities launch talent attraction initiative

The Veneto Region has signed the “S.T.A.Y. Veneto – Strategies for Talent Attraction and Youth” memorandum of understanding with four major universities: Ca’ Foscari Venezia, the University of Padua, the University of Verona, and Iuav University of Venice.

The initiative aims to address demographic and economic challenges by creating a strategy to train, retain, and attract qualified professionals. The protocol seeks to establish a stable link between education, research, businesses, and services to encourage both the arrival of new talent and the return of young professionals who have worked outside the region.

The collaboration focuses on four key areas: student orientation and employment data sharing, innovation through the mapping of patents and research for economic transfer, the creation of a regional research infrastructure network, and specific measures to promote the attraction and long-term residency of skilled workers.
