AD VA NC 2. MIT&ITA POTENTIAL SPONSORS F ED OC M US AN o UF n AC T UR IN Potential US companies who would be sought as sponsors and which have supported MIT events in USA and have recently made notable investment commitments to the Italian Market and its Digital Economy / Industry 4. 0 initiatives Why Google? Why Amazon? Why IBM? Why Cisco? Google has taken a role in two projects with the Ministry of Agriculture as well as the Ministry of Labour and Social Policy and Unioncamere (Italian Chamber of Commerce). The company committed to a € 150 million in Italy, a bet on the government's plan to become a leader in digital commerce. The new investment will be used to build a major storage and logistics center outside Rome, its second in Italy. The new center, due to open next year (2017), will employ 1, 200 people. "There are wide margins of growth for small and medium businesses in Italy, which are still very much behind their European counterparts on e-commerce, " the source said. It will be the biggest foreign IT investment to be unveiled in Italy since Prime Minister Matteo Renzi announced in April a new tactic to speed up broadband rollout across the country. The company will launch its first Watson Health European Center of Excellence in Milan near the Human Technopole Italy 2040 research campus, supporting the government of Italy’s initiative to establish an international hub for the advancement of genomics, big data, aging, and nutrition. Cisco signed a $100 million USD agreement with the Ministry of Education, University and Research (MIUR) to provide training to teachers and students through the Cisco Networking Academy® program; this will help students to develop the new digital skills required in the workforce of today, and thus have greater employment opportunities. Cisco will expand its already successful Networking Academy® program designed to equip people with the skills to succeed in today and tomorrow’s increasingly connected world, with courses focused on industry 4. 0 and cybersecurity technologies. At the Milan Expo ‘Start-Up and Innovation Forum’ in 2015, Google announced that it wanted to help all SMEs to obtain the right online skills and take advantage of the advertising opportunities offered by the Internet. Special Note: Google also wants to help empower young Italians to build their digital skills and knowledge. By combining these two ideas, a secondary partnership with the Ministry of Labour and Social Policy and Unioncamere (Chambers of Commerce) was formed to create Crescere in Digitale. Special Note: Amazon's former SVP of worldwide retail Diego Piacentini works pro -bono at the digital-technology office of the Italian prime minister. The Center is part of a long-term collaboration between IBM and the government of Italy. IBM plans to invest up to $150 million (€ 135 million) over the next several years and bring together Watson Health data scientists, engineers, researchers and designers to develop a new generation of data-driven healthcare applications and solutions. Special Note: Further, the formation of the Center is intended to encourage the development of a pan-European ecosystem for health care reform, research, and health-tech start-ups 8 Cisco, as the first step in developing the Italian startup ecosystem, is pursuing investment opportunities together with Invitalia Ventures, a national venture capital firm. This will enable Cisco to invest in the development of the best national startups and encourage hi-tech innovation in Italy Special Note: Cisco will pursue in the next three years initiatives related to research and development, collaboration with Italian universities, and initiatives to accelerate digital transformation in two Italian industries of excellence, manufacturing and agri food business.

3. MIT ACTIVITIES c. Educational Programs MIT International Science and Technology Initiatives (MISTI) operates through country programs that create opportunities for students and faculty to work with academic partners abroad. MISTI runs 19 country programs (China, Korea, Japan, India, Israel, Chile, Brasil, Spain, Mexico, France, Germany and Africa etc. ): each MISTI program is led by 1 or more senior members of the MIT faculty who set the strategic direction for the program and ensure its educational quality. MIT-ITALY Program (Serenella Sferza and Carlo Ratti): • Stages: Work and research by MIT students through workshops, research centers, universities, and Italian companies. The companies are asked to cover travel and lodging expenses of the students, about € 5, 000 for three months. Every year about 100 MIT students travel to Italy as interns: for large companies like ENEL and Ferrari, but also for smaller companies like Loccioni, Asja (energy), and MEVIS (engineering). Hosting an MIT intern represents an opportunity to apply the experimental culture and, once the intern returns to MIT, enter into the laboratory with which the intern works. • Academic Partnership (Global Seed Funds GSF): The Program enables (covering costs) participating teams to collaborate with international peers, either at MIT or abroad, with the aim of developing and launching joint research projects. Most funds provide a maximum of $30, 000 per single project. Funds are mainly provided by private Foundations or Banks with investments around 80 -200 thousand euro/year. • Global Teaching Labs: Send MIT students to teach science (math, physics, biology, chemistry, computer science, and robotics) in Italian high schools. The scope of the program (in collaboration with MUIR) is to expose the students and Italian teachers to the teaching methods of MIT, which favors problem solving techniques, hands on learning, and participation. 17
