Beyond Fractures

Roberto Ascione will be participating in Beyond Expo 2026. He will join the expo to bridge the gap between emerging technology and actionable public policy.

The Platform: Beyond Expo

Beyond Expo has emerged as the premier technology and innovation hub for Southeast Europe. Moving past the “traditional exhibition” format, it serves as a regional convergence point for the Quintuple Helix Model—a framework that integrates five key sectors to drive societal and economic progress:

1. Academic Institutions: Research and knowledge creation.
2. Industry/Business: Technology companies and startups turning ideas into products.
3. Public Sector: Institutional representatives and local authorities shaping digital policy.
4. Civil Society: Addressing the needs and impacts on the broader public.
5. The Environment: Ensuring sustainable innovation for the future.

Why This Participation Matters

In an era where technology moves faster than regulation, Ascione’s participation underscores the importance of the “Knowledge Triangle.” At Beyond Expo, the focus is on how international business communities can gain strategic visibility in the Mediterranean and Balkan regions.

Ascione will contribute to the dialogue on how technology meets vision to become reality, specifically focusing on:

• Digital Ecosystems: How startups and legacy corporations can co-exist within the Southeast European tech corridor.
• Policy & Progress: Ensuring that innovation is supported by robust, forward-thinking institutional frameworks.
• Strategic Engagement: Navigating the unique investment landscape of Greece and its neighboring markets.
