Enhance sport beyond its competitive dimension to investigate its economic, employment and social aspects. This is the objective of the event “The sports industry: pillar for economic and social growth” which will be held on Tuesday 14 November, at 6.30 pm, at the Comin & Partners offices in Rome (Piazza SS. Apostoli, 73).

In 2022 the Italian Sport System generated revenues of 102 billion euros, contributing 3.4% of GDP and generating employment for 405,000 workers. These are the sector data according to the latest Banca Ifis Observatory, from which we will start to discuss the opportunities, synergies and policies to be developed so that sport becomes increasingly strategic as an industrial sector.

Speakers at the debate will be Daria Braga, Director of the Laureus Italia Foundation; Carmelo Carbotti, Head of Strategic Marketing and Research at Banca Ifis; Lorenzo Casini, President of the Serie A Football League; Gianluca Comin, President of Comin & Partners; Umberto Gandini, President of the Serie A Basketball League; Alessandro Onorato, Councilor for Major Events, Sport, Tourism and Fashion of Rome Capital; Marco Perissa, Secretary of the VII Commission of the Chamber of Deputies; Beniamino Quintieri, President of the Institute for Sports Credit; Massimo Righi, President of the Serie A Volleyball League; Gherardo Tecchi, President of the Italian Gymnastics Federation. The work will be conducted by Francesca Buttara, Founder of Dowell.
