Shownotes

Francesca Milocco, Vice Chair of ReGeneration Hub Friuli and Global Sustainability Program Manager for Forbo Flooring Systems, shares her insights into the magic of NanoValbruna, an international event bringing together scientists, entrepreneurs, young people, and changemakers to discuss innovation, environment, and regeneration. She describes the forum's origins, its rapid growth from a small gathering during COVID to a week-long event with hundreds of attendees, and the passionate team of young volunteers who make it all happen.

Francesca highlights the diverse activities at NanoValbruna, including NanoPičiule (science workshops for kids), the BAITE Award (a startup contest), regeneration panels, local experiences (like e-bike tours and mushroom hunting), and the Data Café. She also emphasizes the importance of community, networking, and creating a space where people feel inspired to act locally while thinking globally.
