“Welfare, Italia” Think Tank



The Think Tank's Mission

In 2019, thanks to the support of TEHA, the “Welfare, Italia” project of the Unipol Assicurazioni evolved into a think tank. Its mission is to provide a tangible contribution to defining a vision of the social security system that supports the social and economic development of Italy within a perspective that is inclusive and sustainable. The “Welfare, Italia” Think Tank is also designed to be a permanent platform for discussion, sharing of ideas and assessing good practices from the public, private and non-profit sectors.

2025 Forum

The Think Tank “Welfare, Italia” held its annual event on November 4, 2025, in Rome, at the Corsie Sistine, Complesso Monumentale Santo Spirito in Sassia.

During the event, dedicated to the theme “Human capital: the new lever of national competitiveness,” the findings of the Think Tank's 2025 Strategic Report were presented.

The 2025 Forum placed human capital at the center of the country's development policies, in order to overcome the emergency-based view of welfare and adopt a proactive and systemic approach that values it as a strategic asset.

The objectives of this edition:

• To understand the demographic constraint and transform it into a planning lever
• To reflect on how to train, retain, and attract talent
• To promote working conditions and welfare tools that unleash people's full potential
• To invest in health as a productive investment, not just as a cost.

Moderated by Antonio Polito (Columnist and Deputy Editor, Corriere della Sera)
