#TechForum2026

The Technology Forum is TEHA Group's main event on innovation, bringing together the brightest minds in research, technology, and business. The Forum gathers ideas collected throughout the year by the InnoTech Community, the Group's thematic platform launched in 2011, which quickly became a reference point for in-depth analysis and discussion of issues related to the new frontiers of technology and innovation. Over the course of 15 years, the Forum has been a regular event where numerous topics have been addressed and explored, not limiting itself to reflecting on what already exists, but committing itself to imagining extraordinary things.

Innovation: what's the state of the art in Italy?

Ranked 30th globally in the TEHA Global Innosystem Index 2025 (47 countries, 31 KPIs), Italy lags behind in inputs but excels in results.

Of the five dimensions considered (Human Capital, Financial Resources to Support Innovation, Innovative Ecosystem, Attractiveness of the Ecosystem, and Effectiveness of the Innovation Ecosystem), our country lags most in Human Capital (36th) and Innovative Ecosystem (30th), while ranking in the top 10 for Effectiveness of the Innovation Ecosystem (7th).

The InnoTech Report 2025, presented at the last Forum, outlines the actions taken by top-performing countries in the dimensions where Italy struggles, offering insights on successful policies that could be adapted to our innovation ecosystem. Sweden, for instance – ranked 1st in “Human Capital” – invests 7.6% of its GDP in education (3.4 percentage points more than Italy), while Israel, leader in “Financial Resources to Support Innovation,” has a Venture Capital investment rate relative to GDP that is 2.84 percentage points higher than Italy’s (2.87% vs. 0.03%).
