Mark Coticchia is a participant in the U.S./Italy Partnership for Growth program, an effort to show those aspects of the U.S. business ecosystem that foster innovation-led growth.
The Partnership for Growth has a number of goals. The most important is Italian innovation, how to commercialize it, and how to create support among the public and political decision-makers for entrepreneurship - the mechanism that is key to bringing innovation out of the laboratory or research paper and into the marketplace.
Mr. Coticchia was the guest in this special episode of Face 2 Face - Capturing Creativity, a video web-chat series produced by the U.S. Embassy in Rome. Stephen Trueman, director of Sapienza Innovazione conducted the interview on May 22, 2009.
