Milan, 15th July 2024 – eToro strengthens its presence in the Italian and European fintech ecosystem through a new collaboration with SDA Bocconi.

As a member of the Hub, eToro will work with I.C.E. SDA Bocconi to design and deliver an event on the evolution of financial markets and the role played by the fintech sector.
The European FS (Financial Services) Tech Hub of Milan is an initiative launched at the end of 2023 with the aim of facilitating connections between companies, financial operators, startups, and researchers at an international level. Within the Hub, it intends to offer a wide range of learning opportunities, including workshops, dedicated courses, and training on topics such as entrepreneurship and innovation, with particular attention to the evolving regulatory landscape.
Massimo Citoni, Regional Manager for Italy at eToro, comments: “We are delighted to accept SDA Bocconi’s invitation to support this exciting initiative, which envisions a future of more efficient and inclusive financial services. eToro began as a fintech company with the mission to leverage technology and finance to make markets accessible to all. Today, fostering active dialogue between stakeholders is crucial to collaboratively building a future for financial markets that is open, secure, and transparent.”
“We are therefore proud to be able to contribute and share our experience and knowledge. After joining Assofintech, our participation in this project represents further proof of our commitment to being active participants in financial innovation in Italy and Europe,” concludes Citoni.
Gimede Gigante, Professor of Finance and Director of Innovation and Corporate Entrepreneurship at SDA Bocconi, declares: ” At SDA Bocconi and in our European FS Tech Hub, we stand out for our international vocation and the ability to involve all key players in innovation in the financial system. These include regulators, industry associations, large consulting firms, banks and fintechs. The project combines excellence and uniqueness, with the aim of driving innovation and enhancing the competitiveness of the Italian financial sector internationally. The creation of this hub represents a strategic challenge that projects our school towards the future, making it a European reference point for the attraction and development of talent and technology in the financial sector, making the most of the extraordinary platform offered by the city of Milan and the collaboration with high-level partners.”
