Tucano will participate in the thirteenth edition of the Salone del Risparmio as a technical partner. From May 16-18, the largest event in the industry will be held at the Allianz MiCo headquarters and focus on managed savings, financial education and tax issues. The more than 13,000 participants will have the opportunity to discuss sustainability, human capital, investment strategies, private markets and the real economy. They will be able to establish new collaborations and share ideas and skills on the topic of savings. The event will be documented through live conferences that will be available on the official platform even after the event is over.

For five years the Salone del Risparmio has enjoyed an active relationship with Tucano, which supplies the official tote, created on this occasion in seven different colors corresponding to the themes and pathways of the event.

Tucano will also host a personalized stand where the most iconic innovations and products will be on display. Among the latter, the AGS family of backpacks, characterized by the shoulder straps’ anti-gravity suspension system, will be on hand so that the public has the opportunity to personally experience the unique features of this product line.

Tucano will be present with a display of products in line with the theme of sustainable development. The Spezie collection, a family of foldable shopping bags made of materials produced from recycled plastic; the Compatto Eco line, an iconic collection recently introduced in nylon made from recycled plastic, the Ted backpacks, which blend color and sustainability, as well as the new AGS backpacks, characterized by Anti-Gravity System technology, a special type of shoulder-strap suspension.

The common theme of all the products presented at the Sustainable Development Festival is respect for the environment, a central focus of the activities, initiatives and the path already undertaken by Tucano,  not only in the process of product development but also as the dominant theme of the company’s corporate philosophy and code of ethics.

 The festival is organized by the Italian Alliance for Sustainable Development (ASviS) and the 17-day event is the largest, nationally-organized sustainable development festival. It has the task of educating and informing, allowing people to participate in and be more aware of the 2030 Agenda that was approved by the UN Assembly. Throughout Italy a number of initiatives and events will be held from May 8th to May 24th, including the one managed by Cascina Cuccagna, in which Tucano is participating with great interest and enthusiasm.

The first edition of the University Festival is the biggest event ever organized by University Network, the Italian startup created in 2015 by a group of students from Milan’s State University. University Network follows about one million students throughout their university process: orientation, education path, and completion. The University Festival is the biggest university event ever organized in Italy, and will take place on May 13th in Milan, at the Talent Garden in Via Calabiana. An entire day dedicated to education, technology, and sustainability. The event will be presented and hosted by Antonella Arpa, whose influencer name is Himorta, and Chiara Piotto from Sky Tg24. The university event will continue from 10:00 in the morning until 1:00 at night and will involve workshops, speeches, street food and music.

The promoters of the University Network event are the Confindustria Lombardia, the National Association of Young Innovators, and the European Commission. The collaboration of the City of Milan and the participation of institutions and promoters are indispensable. Included amongst the sponsors is Tucano, which will play the role of supporting partner and will offer all participants shoppers and foldable backpacks. Ambassadors, on the other hand, will receive the Melange neoprene covers, iconic products perfect for protecting laptops and, finally, journalists and event sponsors will receive Piego travel sets.

An important event, focused on artificial intelligence, with an established international impact, AI Week hosts about 80 companies, a thousand entrepreneurs and 150 speakers, invited to discuss the importance of artificial intelligence within companies and to talk about the exceptional developments and goals achieved in recent years. Tucano will be present with a stand full of our newest and most iconic products – all designed around the four factors that distinguish the brand: eco-sustainability, Italian design, protection, and innovation. Among the new products on display will be Gommo, the collection of sporty, stylish bags and backpacks, created from a water-resistant rubberized material, and Compatto Eco, the iconic family of foldable products that can be transformed into small flat pockets, now in an eco-friendly version, made with materials produced from recycled plastic.

Among the business backpacks, all designed to offer high-performance features – such as excellent pocket organization as well as technical and aesthetic innovations that are in line with the needs of an increasingly demanding public – Tucano’s AGS products stand out. These backpacks are equipped with the Anti-Gravity System and feature shoulder straps able to reduce the burden on the shoulders and back, encouraging a balanced distribution of weight between the shoulders and the hips. The Marte Gravity backpack, in the color blue, was selected by AI Week for the event.

AI WEEK is now in its fourth edition and for the first time in years it will be an in-person event. The event is organized in two parts: from April 17-19, there will be a series of on-line appointments, available through the AI Play platform, while on April 20-21 the Rimini Conference Center will host the participants, creating the most important national event with a focus on artificial intelligence. The days in which the attendees are physically present will involve stimulating talks, workshops, presentations, and working roundtables. There will be no lack of ideas and analyses regarding the world of design, technology, sustainability and much more. Artificial intelligence along with all of the other topics that are sure to come out of such an articulated event, are at the center of the journey undertaken by Tucano, not only out of curiosity but also out of a real need for alignment with the issues and transformations that will influence society.

Tucano is participating in the 2023 edition of VOCI – Visioni Orizzonti Culture Idee (Visions Horizons Culture Ideas) being held on April 21 and 22 in Borgo Egnazia and organized by the Young Entrepreneurs of Puglia. The event, characterized by four arenas in which important names in Italian journalism and Young Entrepreneurs come together, is dedicated to the current economic, political and social crisis and to the possible ideas and solutions that will arise from the debate. The southern Italian entrepreneurs and the directors of the most important newspapers will discuss the future of Italy and Europe and the repercussions caused by the drastic changes that have occurred in recent years. The economy, technology, politics and the role Italy plays in the economic world will be discussed.

The event will be introduced by Alessio Nisi, President of Puglia’s Young Entrepreneurs’ Confindustria (an Italian trade organization) and Mario Aprile, Vice President of the Young Entrepreneurs’ Confindustria. Gianluca Di Feo, Deputy Director of the Republic, Marta Dassù, Director of Aspenia, and many others will follow. Many important members of the media will be attending VOCI both as observers and as participants.

Tucano, as a technical sponsor, offered the Modo 13” backpack to the 30 guest speakers at the event. The simple and refined design and the special materials used for its construction make the Modo backpack a very versatile product and suitable for a contemporary audience. An avid participant in economic and cultural events, Tucano is once again supporting the Young Entrepreneurs this year, confirming its interest in issues that are crucial for the entrepreneurial world, of which it has been a part for almost 40 years.
