MISSION

With the roots of our name in Italian talent, iTAL Foundation (formerly SVIEC) elevates and empowers Italian and Italian-American talent in business, technology and thought leadership through educational and networking programs that foster professional development and inspire entrepreneurship. iTAL enables connections between USA and Italy to promote excellence and innovation.

COMMUNITY

There are tens of thousands of people that have strong ties to Italy and the Greater San Francisco Bay Area. It may be for personal reasons: people that have spent large parts of their lives in both places, or with close relatives from both geographies. Or it may be for professional reasons: they may work for a company that operates in both countries, or they may have started one that does.

Regardless, they share a unique cultural DNA that brings together the richness of both cultures.

iTAL Foundation wants to leverage that rich cultural heritage for the betterment of this unique community and of society at large.

Although many of the Foundation's friends and supporters are located in the Silicon Valley - and more generally in the Greater San Francisco Bay Area - the Foundation's activities and their impact go well beyond that region.
