Last Thursday I participated to a round table with President George W. Bush, while he was visiting Rome.

Politics was not involved in this, I was invited to talk about 1GN, the not for profit network that we created last year to foster entrepreneurship in Italy.

The transcript of my conversation with the President is online on the White House web site.

A year ago I met Richard Boly in Rome, through a common friend. Richard was working on Capturing Creativity, a program launched by the US Ambassador in Rome, Ronald Spogli.

The First Generation Meeting in Rome was a success. People were really enthusiastic about everything, and we were tired :-) We succeeded in gathering a very interesting mix of people, mostly Entrepreneurs.

The roster of participants is really impressive. We will meet in Rome on June 14th, for the first meeting of the First Generation Network.

I will be moderating a panel. It will be interesting because all the participants are entrepreneurs, some of them working for institutions now.
