Festival dell'Economia
Trento XXI Edition

Read the Presentation

With the new title “From the market to new powers. The hope of young people,” the Trento Festival of Economics continues its commitment to comparing, on one hand, the unsettling framework of international scenarios and geopolitics—which see the laws of the market fading as a reference point and the rise of new powers such as Big Tech and autocracies—and, on the other hand, the hopes of young people as the resource to bet on for a better future. In this context, it is indeed important for the West to recover the ground it has lost and will lose, and it can do so only if the strength of youth is put at the forefront.

In 2022, the theme “After the Pandemic: Between Order and Disorder” aimed to delve into the deep social, economic, and political effects of the pandemic, while the 2023 edition titled “The Future of the Future. The Challenges of a New World” undertook to outline the impact that major technological and socio-economic transformations will have on humanity. In 2024, with “Quo Vadis? The Dilemmas of Our Time”, the Festival analyzed the great issues that our time poses to us, from the intensification of conflicts in the world to the growth of inflation and public debt, from climate change to the demographic winter. In 2025, on the occasion of the Festival's 20th anniversary, the analysis was dedicated to “Fatal Risks and Choices. Europe at a Crossroads.”
