A journey through history

Innovando News takes you on a journey through history, illuminating the connections between past, present and future. Our editorial staff elaborates textual, iconographic, audio and video content to keep the themes of innovation constantly at the center of information.

The innovation that tells the past

Every novelty, change, transformation that radically modifies or causes an effective modernization in a political or social order, in a production method, in a technique, is the innovation that we tell with passion and attention. This is the "Historical Innovation" that we highlight.

We live in a complex, extremely interconnected world and innovation travels at astonishing speeds. These speeds often throw us off balance and confront us with social, ethical and moral problems, but also with incredible opportunities that we must learn to seize.
