THE WAY
Fondazione Edoardo Garrone’s commitment to supporting young entrepreneurs and the development of mountain areas is now focusing in particular on the Apennines. This area is indeed lagging behind in terms of strategies and solutions capable of exploiting its potential to the fullest.
The entrepreneurs that have completed the ReStartApp® and ReStartAlp® residential (on-campus) courses, do not simply work in their local area – they work for their local area. It is never just about a company, but, always, about far-reaching economic, environmental, and social projects.
The Apennines are the backbone of Italy, a constellation of ancient and yet constantly-evolving hamlets, an open-air library treasuring age-old knowledge, biodiversity and unique tastes, a closely-knit weave of trails and possible stop-overs…the place that is home to our identity, from time immemorial. And a place of new beginnings.
