The Italian Summit on Digital Media

Milan, May 15, 2012 – Digital Magics,  the internet startup incubator, and Grafo Ventures have organized the D.SUMMIT – www.dsummit.org – the Italian Summit on Digital Media held today at the San Sirio Stadium in Milan . An event in which the market’s leading players, media companies, media agencies, investors and opinion leaders, shared views on the evolutions, trends and opportunities in the Italian digital industry. The objective of the summit – which registered the participation of more than 200 professionals in the industrial and financial sectors – was to define and understand the market’s state of the art so as to launch innovative projects from Italy which can excel and compete at an International level.

“The Italian economy is on the threshold of an important challenge, essential for our development, and that is to double our GDP by 2015. However, the digital industry and its ancillary activities is suffering from the crisis of traditional media, the lack of financial resources for innovation and the pressure deriving from large international operators”, said Enrico Gasperini, President of  Digital Magics, “A combination of actions for strengthening our eco system consisting  of new rules, of the consolidation of the research sector and of venture capital, of the collaboration with industrial operators and collective initiatives with allied industries, can develop the market in a short time. This idea led to the launch of the D.Summit and Digital Magics is proposing itself as an incubator to stimulate industrial operators, web companies and venture capitalists to develop the digital media industry in Italy”.
