Fondazione Milano per Expo Ente del Terzo Settore was formed for Expo Milano 2015 by a number of entrepreneurs who found support from Assolombarda and the Milan Chamber of Commerce.
It was the same group that supported the candidature of Italy to host Expo, as a fertile terrain of opportunity for Milan and the entire Italian system, but also in favour of developing countries.
It was formed with the great aspiration of becoming a prototype in the panorama of Italian foundations in the field of sustainability. The intent remained as an expression of the faith that the business world has in Expo Milano 2015 as a meeting ground for countries.
The Foundation means to accept the challenges that an enterprise must, today more than ever, be able to tackle, creating an environment that is favourable to inclusion and diversity and helping the increasingly challenging and critical matching of the demand for professional profiles and training/university education.
The project sustained by Fondazione Milano per Expo ETS has offered and will go on offering this synthesis of good intentions, going ahead with enterprises which are important factors for the growth of society and economies, also in emerging countries.
Development projects as a permanent sustainable heredity
Both through concrete action, banking on the richness of exchanges coming from Expo Milano 2015 and through various horizons that come together such as: business associations, the academic world of research and innovation and the Institutions, enriching the heredity of Expo Milano 2015 in all these areas so as to construct a true “BASIN OF KNOWLEDGE”.
