In an increasingly interconnected world, global health represents a fundamental priority that transcends national borders, requiring a coordinated and multidisciplinary response. Emergency healthcare, a critical sector within the broader public health landscape, deals with responding to unexpected events that require immediate action, such as epidemics, natural disasters, or humanitarian crises. The importance of this field has been dramatically underlined by the COVID-19 pandemic, which has put global health systems to the test, highlighting both their vulnerabilities and their capacity for innovation and resilience.The meeting aims to explore how the convergence between technological innovation and collaboration between different sectors can improve the management of health emergencies and strengthen public health systems.In this dynamic context, emerging technologies such as artificial intelligence, telemedicine and big data offer revolutionary tools to prevent, monitor and respond to health crises, while partnerships between the public and private sectors and civil society open new avenues to an effective and timely response.During the event the lessons learned from recent crises will be examined, to discuss current and future challenges, and highlight innovative strategies to build more robust and resilient health systems. We will focus on how technological innovation may harmonize with collaborative models to enhance global health emergency response capabilities.This initiative represents a unique opportunity for healthcare professionals, policy makers, representatives of international organizations, private sector leaders and other key stakeholders to share their knowledge, experiences, and visions, and to work together towards the common goal of improving resilience and effectiveness, in emergency healthcare around the world.Introduces and moderates Gianfranco Belgrano, InternationaliaLorenzo Massucchielli,International Emergencies U.O.

Innovation in agri-business and sustainable development.11:30 - 12:30 | Codeway Plenary
International cooperation plays a fundamental role in promoting global sustainable development, with particular attention to the agriculture sector. This area is crucial not only to guarantee food security, but also to support the sustainable transformation of rural contexts, which represent a hub of life, income, and social cohesion for billions of people around the worldAgriculture, beyond being a primary source of nourishment, is the main driver of economic development for rural communities, a catalyst for economic and social integration and the valorization of territories. Innovation in the agri-business sector, therefore, does not only affect the introduction of new technologies, but also the development of sustainable agricultural practices that respect the environment and improve the living conditions of rural populations.Here the involvement of the private sector emerges as a key factor. Collaboration between governments, international institutions, the private sector and civil society can in fact accelerate the transition towards more efficient, sustainable and inclusive agriculture. Strategic partnerships can help overcome food security challenges, while promoting the empowerment of local communities, the integration of small-scale producers into global markets, and supporting innovation through applied research and technical dissemination.The conference explores the dynamics and opportunities linked to international cooperation in agriculture, underlining how innovation in agribusiness can contribute to sustainable development goals. Through the analysis of case studies, testimonies, and debates, we will focus on the crucial role of agriculture for food security, on the importance of synergies between different development sectors, and on the essential contribution of the private sector in building a future sustainable for all.Introduces and moderates Massimo Zaurrini, InternationaliaTatiana Marzi, Training Office for the ICE Agency Lab Innova projects in the agricultural sectorFrank Cinque, E4Impact FoundationThe accelerator for start-ups in Kenya and innovation in agribusinessPriscilla de Andrade, Legal Officer, UNIDROITUnidroit tools for innovation in agri-business and sustainable developmentComparing experiences: a dialogue withGiovanni Giustino,Ceia SpaBiagio Di Terlizzi, CIHEAM BariEvan Kimani Gichuche, Founder, ADILI SOLAR HUBS (Kenya)John Irungu Ndibui, CEO, NAWASSCOAL Company (Kenya)Considerazioni conclusiveCarlo Batori, Capo dell’Unità per la finanza per lo sviluppo, l’ambiente e il digitale della DGCS, MAECIWladimiro Boccali, Codeway Expo General Coordinator
