And on the occasion of the launch event, Eni not only explored the main trends in three different business areas but also met a selection of American startups identified by Mind the Bridge. “Companies that decide to open an innovation outpost in Silicon Valley – explains Alberto Onetti, President of Mind the Bridge – can benefit from a privileged observatory on the world‘s number one ecosystem where all the ‘next big things’ are born. At Mind the Bridge, we have the burden and the honor of supporting Eni’s international scouting activities from 2019. This outpost that we will host and support in San Francisco from today is a further and significant step forward in their innovation journey “.
