Our Mission & Vision

Mission

To foster a thriving ecosystem that supports Italian innovators at every stage of their journey, providing them with the resources, connections, and expertise they need to succeed.

Vision

We envision a world where Italian innovation is a driving force on the global stage, accelerating economic growth and creating meaningful impact in both Italy and the U.S.

Why New York?

New York City is a global innovation powerhouse with a $2T+ economy, more AI jobs than Silicon Valley, and a dense network of 300+ VC firms. Boasting 25,000+ startups and the highest early-stage funding activity in the country, NYC is uniquely positioned to amplify the potential of Italian founders and companies. As a top hub for fintech, life sciences, climate tech, and AI, it offers unparalleled opportunities for investment, talent acquisition, and rapid scaling.

Our Leadership

The i³NYC Founding Committee comprises experienced entrepreneurs, investors, and innovators committed to bridging the gap between Italy and NYC.
