Design is a thought activity: we should not replace it with a mere “optimizing” approach, because it’s from imperfections that talent emerges.
While globalisation is leading towards a growing standardisation, the importance of our shared culture and the originality of the Mediterranean is increasingly emerging. Business is not limited to a country’s boundaries: that’s why it is necessary to give value to an idea of business community and belonging to it.
BusinessMed, gathering the Mediterranean central business organizations, can be the bearer of a new way of doing business, based on the cultural respect and country neighbourhood, overcoming the “Business to Business” approach to reach a “Partner to Partner” approach.
This is what Alberto Baban, President of Confindustria’s Piccola Industria and BusinessMed Vice-President, declared at the Italy Mediterranean Business Forum which took place last March 26 in Venice, and which saw also the participation of Confindustria Assafrica & Mediterraneo.
With Baban’s appointment, for the first time BusinessMed’s Vice-Presidency is bestowed to a North Mediterranean business organization, thus re-launching the integration of Mediterranean markets also at economic and social level, through a business culture that shares the values and the strategies aimed at growth.
