The Chairman of the Italian banking group Intesa Sanpaolo, Mr Gian Maria GROS-PIETRO, visited Hong Kong in October.
It was an honor for students of the HKUST Business School to join a talk by Mr GROS-PIETRO on October 11 on the topic of “Innovation and the Finance Industry”.
Among the audience was a group of our UG students from the World Bachelor in Business (WBB) Program. As WBB students will live and study in three different countries, including Italy during their studies, the talk by Mr GROS-PIETRO provided them with an excellent opportunity to know first-hand the latest development of finance and banking services in Europe and Italy.
Headquartered in Italy, Intesa Sanpaolo is among the top banking groups in Europe. In addition to its major operations in Central and Eastern Europe, Middle Eastern and North African countries, the Group has direct presence in other 25 countries across the globe, including Hong Kong since 1984.
