CDP and Bpifrance working together on the first Italian-French Young Leaders Programme

30 high-potential young professionals have joined the two-year programme

The Young Leaders programme, organised by Bpifrance and CDP, brings together high-potential French and Italian professionals (15 French, 15 Italian), aged between 30 and 40, from different backgrounds and professions. The two-year programme aims to develop and strengthen relations between Italy and France, creating a network of future leaders in their fields with a European perspective.

Two working sessions have already taken place, in Rome and Paris, during which the young leaders had the opportunity to discuss a common socio-economic issue, relevant to Italian-French trade relations, bringing a variety of different viewpoints. 

The first working session focused on the European Union and the Mediterranean perspective; the second, on Heritage and Tourism in Europe.

Through this Programme, which is intended to foster synergy and ambitious dialogue between the future leaders of both countries, Bpifrance and CDP aim to contribute to strengthening ties and economic cooperation between France and Italy, in line with the agreements of the 2020 Franco-Italian Summit.
