Intelligence on the World, Europe, and Italy



The "Cernobbio Forum"

Its international scope is the most significant aspect of the Forum that TEHA Group organizes each year in September at Villa d’Este in Cernobbio. The event, held each year since 1975, is titled "Intelligence on the World, Europe, and Italy" although it is commonly referred to as "Cernobbio Forum", due to its traditional location. The Forum brings together an array of speakers of the highest level from the world of politics, academia, government and business, from across the globe.

The Forum is a three-day event:

• Day One is normally dedicated to major global issues of a predominantly economic, geopolitical and scientific/technological nature.
• Day Two focuses on Europe and enjoys the presence of officials and representatives of all major European institutions who take part in discussions around the most pressing issues facing the European Union.
• And finally, Day Three is dedicated to Italy with the presence of representatives of the Italian government, officials and numerous leading figures from the world of business and finance.

As per tradition, the event will take place behind closed doors. 



A phygital event: between Cernobbio and remote hubs in Italy and abroad

The event will have a phygital (part physical, part digital) format, with a central hub in the established venue at Villa d’Este in Cernobbio, which will be connected with several hubs in other locations in Italy, Europe and the rest of the world.

In 2024, in partnership with Italy's Ministry of Foreign Affairs and International Cooperation and with the ICE Agency, we will offer to the entire network of Italian diplomats and businesses abroad the opportunity to follow the proceedings and stay updated on global, European, and Italian scenarios.

At the same time, China hosted a live streaming hub in Shanghai that also developed local offline contents to take advantage of the time zone difference. This was made possible thanks to the contribution of Generali, the Beijing Club for International Dialogue, and the Chinese private equity firm ClearVue Partners.

Finally, in Italy, there were other physical and digital hubs: in Puglia, thanks to the collaboration of Banca Popolare di Puglia e Basilicata and Exprivia; in Padua, thanks to the collaboration of Cherry Bank; and across Italy, thanks to the collaboration of SACE, the Italian insurance-financial group owned by the Ministry of Economy and Finance and specialized in supporting businesses, which opened the Forum to Italian SMEs.
