“I am very proud that the Municipality of Turin is inaugurating the 24/25 academic year of the Lounge Labs in SAA and that the theme is precisely that of the ATPs, the flagship of major events – explains Massimo Di Conza, head of SAA University & Business -. This Lounge Lab represents the first of a long series that will be held in SAA but, it is worth remembering, that during the year the students will also be protagonists of “Masterclass” study days within large companies, demonstrating the vocation of the SAA to bring its students ever closer to the world of real business and its managers, enhancing soft skills, strengthening their argumentative skills, developing decision making and team building potential. Last year, just to name a few, the students were guests in Lancetti, Microlino, in the Rai Television Studios in via Verdi”.
