Ermanno Rondi, born in 1953, founded Incas, a company dealing with industrial automation in the supply chain sector, with Paolo Piana in 1981. He was president of Unione Industriale Biellese from 2001 to 2007, then held the position of Education delegate for the Club of 15 and was president of the Technical Group for Professional Training and Work School Alternation of Confindustria in Rome.
From 1996 to 2000 he was president of Acimit; today he is the delegate for Human Capital at Confindustria Piemonte. “I would like Città Studi to be perceived for what it is: a Campus of educational services for the development of the Territory – Rondi’s first words as president – and I am honoured to take on this position. The exchange of information, openness, transparency, integration and collaborations are fundamental in the search for the right keys to better interpret the changes that will influence tomorrow’s scenarios. It is essential to focus on an education that has young people at its centre, that is attractive to them and consistent with the culture and prospects of the area as well as virtuous in bringing employability. Finally, we must cooperate with all sources of research to create the organic basis for innovation’.
