As we wrap up 2024, Tecno International reflects on a transformative year marked by significant progress, innovation, and expansion. This year, we have not only deepened our impact in the sustainability space but also expanded our presence internationally, formed new collaborations, and led important discussions shaping the future of sustainable business practices. Here’s a look at some of the key highlights that defined 2024.
A Year of Expanding Our Global Footprint
In 2024, Tecno International took significant strides in its international expansion. Our presence in New York has flourished with key initiatives, including our active participation in prestigious events such as the panel discussion on “Sustainability and Regionalisation: A New Era for Corporate Strategy?” hosted at the Italian Consulate. This provided an opportunity for us to exchange insights with industry leaders from JPMorgan, Pirelli, and Deloitte. Additionally, we continued to build strategic relationships through our collaboration with the Italy-America Chamber of Commerce, gaining access to exclusive networking opportunities and providing a platform to share our expertise through seminars and thought-leadership programmes.
One of the most impactful moments came during our keynote speech at eMazzanti’s annual conference, held in New York on 29th June. This event brought together leading IT consulting firms to discuss sustainable corporate strategies, and we were honoured to provide insights on how businesses can navigate the future of sustainability in the context of technological transformation.
