Comitato Leonardo and the Perini Navi Group work together again to support young talents

The Perini Navi Group world leader in the design and production of large sailing and
motor yachts is once again showing its support of young talents and is promoting
young graduates that write their thesis on topics relevant to the success of products for
the nautical sector that are Made in Italy by creating two scholarships for projects
promoted by the Comitato Leonardo.
The Comitato Leonardo, currently headed by the entrepreneur Luisa Todini, was
created in 1993 on the shared initiative of Sen. Sergio Pininfarina and Sen. Gianni
Agnelli, of Confindustria, of the ICE and of a group of entrepreneurs with the objective
to promote Italy as a country as a whole through various initiatives that would display
the innovative business qualities, the artistic creativity and the refined culture that lie
behind products manufactured here and the country’s lifestyle.
The initiative behind the Premi di Laurea, launched for the first time by the Comitato
Leonardo in 1997, has already rewarded 100 brilliant young graduates. There are 9
partners who, again this year have participated in the program by creating no less than
11 scholarships worth 3.000 euro each.
“The objective of the Premi di Laurea project is to give a voice to young talent by
supporting the best thesis and the most innovative ideas that put into light the best of
Italy today in various sectors and that give body to new ideas for the development of
our economy,” says Luisa Todini “Perini Navi and all of the other companies that are
associated with this project represent the best of what we call Made in Italy and they
intend to support and promote the talent of the new generations that represent the
future of our country.”
The “Premio Perini Navi Group” is in its sixth edition this year and will sponsor two
scholarships worth 3.000 euro each.
The first scholarships theme will be “Project for a motor boat of over 40 mt for slow
