Public engagement

Venice has a long history of innovation which started 1600 years ago that deserves to be shared. Over the centuries, many ideas originated in the city, such as double-entry bookkeeping, bank-to-bank transfers, government bonds, and even quarantine, to name a few.

In line with this tradition of innovation, Venice School of Management is strongly oriented towards developing and transferring its know-how to society and organisations. The School aims indeed to promote entrepreneurial skills, innovation, and social welfare on a local, national and international level.

VSM collaborates with companies and institutions to support them through its research activities, and to co-design tailored-made training programmes.

The School is fully committed to its role as a platform to promote collaboration and create innovative learning models by involving all local stakeholders.
