The event will be held at Opificio Innova conference room inside the “Sa Manifattura“.
The location was formerly home to a tobacco factory and has a very old history: it was founded in the 18th century and achieved its full productivity in the late 19th century. It was closed in 2001 and now it hosts scientific, entrepreneurial, cultural and artistic initiatives.
Opificio Innova, Viale Regina Margherita 33 – Cagliari, Italy
