WHY ANDREA
Andrea helps companies translate macro ESG trends and regulation into actionable innovation portfolios — treating sustainability as a driver of long-term survival, not a compliance exercise.
KEYNOTE TOPICS
Geremicca argues that sustainability is no longer an ethical choice but a condition for an organization's survival. He shows how companies can embed innovation into operations to meet the SDGs — turning regulatory pressure into competitive advantage rather than cost.
Drawing on his work advising major European companies and his Harvard Business Review analysis, Geremicca helps leaders read emerging macro trends and translate them into concrete, actionable innovation strategies.
As a Singularity University faculty member, Geremicca explores how exponential technologies — AI among them — are reshaping the sustainability landscape, and how leaders can build the capacity for vision that innovation demands.
As the author of Circular Economy Manager, Geremicca makes the business case for circular models — showing how organizations can seize the commercial opportunities that come with designing out waste.
Andrea Geremicca is the Director General of the European Institute of Innovation for Sustainability (EIIS) in Rome, where he helps major European companies and organizations understand and achieve their sustainability goals. An adjunct professor at LUISS and LUMSA teaching Innovation for Sustainability, and a faculty member at Singularity University as a global expert on innovation and foresight, he has been a contributor to the Harvard Business Review since 2019, analyzing emerging trends and future scenarios. He has lectured at the Harvard Kennedy School and Sciences Po in Paris and delivered two TEDx talks.
An entrepreneur before he was an academic, Geremicca founded and led two successful startups with exits in 2012 and 2020, and is an advisor and angel investor to international startups. He completed the Harvard Business School Executive Programme in 2018, focused on driving innovation in large organizations, and is the author of Circular Economy Manager. His distinctive position sits at the intersection of foresight, technology, and sustainability — helping organizations see sustainability not as a box-ticking obligation but as the core capability that determines whether they endure.
