To present it, this morning at a press conference in Milan, was Cosmano Lombardo, CEO Search On Media Group and D4NP Creator: “The world of the third sector is growing in the Italian economy: more than 300,000 realities with 1 million paid employees and a economic volume that exceeds 64 billion euros per year. It is a sector that is facing great challenges, also thanks to digital. It is therefore time to point out the status of digital art for the non-profit world. Contributing to spreading digital knowledge in the name of social innovation is one of the priorities of our corporate mission and for some years, in Search On, we had developed the format and opened the “construction site” for this event. It is a new challenge for me and for our team and we are very happy to embark on this journey together with the San Patrignano Community, an important and relevant partner on social issues. We are thankful to the sponsors who believed in the idea and are allowing us to realize this day of networking and sharing. “

A very important event for the world of nonprofits that will be held within San Patrignano. To explain why is so important to us, was in this event, the president of the community Antonio Tinelli: “San Patrignano and the digital world, may seem like two very distant reality, but that is not the case. For some years, the community has begun to exploit digital for all its activities. It is crucial for our recovery project and our prevention project, but even more for the professional training of our residents, thanks to which we have already succeeded in reintegrating 8 former residents. Finally, the digital world is becoming crucial to communicating our mission and the fundraising activity. The digital activity has become fundamental to us and we want to share to the nonprofit world with the importance of this tool. “
