The future of a business? It lies in the people who will carry it forward

At the Festival of Enterprise, organized by ItalyPost in Bergamo from November 6 to 9, 2026, featuring 400 speakers and over 100 discussion sessions centered on the theme "Creating Despite the Odds", Gianluca Marchetti shared his own experience during a panel titled "Giving a Future to Business: Generations in Dialogue".

Moderated by ItalyPost journalist Michelangelo Bonessa, the panel featured:

• Laura Bresciani, CEO of I.M.D. Generators Srl

• Mauro Fanin, Chairman and CEO of Cereal Docks Group

• Vito Grassi, CEO of Graded S.p.A.

A common thread among all the participants was the realization that the most significant investment for the future of any business is in the people who will carry it forward.

Gianluca Marchetti shared his personal experience with generational transition ,first as a son and now as a father, as his own children join the company.

Moving to the new generations means transferring one’s experience, values and corporate culture; it requires trust, patience and the ability to make space for others.

The greatest satisfaction? Watching the company grow through the new generations.
