A business week at the International School of Advanced Education (SIAF) in Volterra
Learning about Made in Italy and Made in Tuscany

We are glad to give to managers, entrepreneurs, Schools of Management, Executive Master's Courses, Entrepreneurs and Business Associations the possibility to have a closer look at the Italian Business Environment, long-established production clusters and their peculiarities, presenting both successful cases and local failures, while staying at the Campus of the International School of Advanced Education (SIAF) in Volterra.

In particular, SIAF is directly linked to Scuola Superiore Sant'Anna, in Pisa, one of the Italian leading Academic Institutions in the field of Applied Sciences (www.sssup.it).
SIAF is located in Volterra, just one hour by car from Florence and Pisa, two cities whose International Airports are very well connected with many European cities by various airlines, also through low-cost flights.

SIAF offers state of the art teaching and learning facilities in an executive campus opened in October 2006, providing quality accommodation for 130 guests, with the added benefits of recreational facilities which include a fitness centre, swimming pool and outdoor sporting facilities, notwithstanding the availability of a wi-fi connection covering all the common areas.

In this modern setting, we would like to offer you, during the week, a blend of academic lectures on specific themes related to how to manage SMEs management issues, such as Human Resources, Innovation and Internationalization processes, while including visits to local companies and meetings with local entrepreneurs and representatives from local government.
Additionally, the agenda of the week at SIAF Campus in Volterra will let you discover typical local products, guided visits to Florence and nearby sight-seeing places as San Gimignano.

Accordingly to our target to give you an introduction to the business environment, we would like to highlight the fact that the week-schedule can be easily tailored to your interest on specific areas: furniture, leather goods, ship-building, fashion and textiles, Mechanics and ICT.
