Having said that, is this scenario so pessimistic to hinder<br />

any successful attempt of contributing to the Inclusive<br />

Business debate from the Italian perspective?<br />

The answer is certainly not. This is so not only because<br />

any country facing a severe financial and economic<br />

world crisis has the duty to look ahead and pave<br />

the way for its recovery through the implementation of<br />

different strategies, but also because any global crisis<br />

implies a reorganization of internal forces that leads to<br />

the optimization of the strongest national assets. In so<br />

doing, Inclusive Business may offer an interesting perspective.<br />

What is needed is, therefore, the willingness to analyse<br />

what still counts as strong national asset notwithstanding<br />

the poor economic performances and to start<br />

over again from this ground. What is at stake here is not<br />

only the creation of a new growth momentum but also the<br />

possibility to open an Italian way of being amongst the<br />

most innovative economies addressing global problems<br />

with a new vision.<br />

In the following, architecture&design and green technologies<br />

will be scrutinized with the lenses of Inclusive<br />

Business, being sectors that contribute to the Italian<br />

industry as sources of innovation, employment and<br />

growth. Each of them will be presented through innovative<br />

case studies that display some features of the<br />

Inclusive Business approach. Brief questions will give<br />

voice to the protagonists, and a third-party expert will be<br />

called to unfold features, problems and potentialities of<br />

the architecture & design sector, providing an external<br />

view on open issues and future perspectives.<br />
