ITALY, Rome: Where innovation meets SSM

Location:

Rome, Swiss School of Management (SSM)

Programme
The company is ICARO, a small startup project founded by four friends, focused on rediscovering and giving voice to the wines of the Castelli Romani. ICARO works to promote the grapes and wines of this volcanic territory through a natural, accessible, and non-elitist approach, aiming to reconnect the Wine of the Castelli Romani with the people of Rome in a direct and authentic way.
The project is also strongly rooted in building a network of producers, wine shops, venues, and people who believe in this vision and, importantly, in enjoying the process together.

The proposed visit would include:

  • A company visit to their winery/canteen
  • A presentation of the ICARO project and its vision
  • Three guest lectures with respected professionals from the field, who will support the student working groups in shaping their business plans, particularly around the areas where the company aims to innovate

Please note that this itinerary is provisional and subject to minor changes as details are finalized.

The week will include:

  • 4 nights' stay at the hotel in Rome from 11 to 14 May 2026
