Gratitude & Banks - Tech Villa 2026 - Wave by Vento
What if the future of banking were built not only on capital, but also on trust, gratitude and social impact?
In this Tech Talk, Matteo Basei Fantolino, M.Sc., Slow Finance UNiCO International Campus, and Marco Calandretti, Generali S.p.A., will explore how the principles of Slow Finance could inspire a new approach to banking—one that connects financial sustainability with human and social value.
Drawing inspiration from Nobel Peace Prize Muhammad Yunus and the Grameen Bank, we will ask: Can trust become a form of capital? Can financial relationships create positive social impact without relying exclusively on traditional contractual mechanisms?
From innovative banking models to the innovation ecosystem, the discussion will explore how finance, technology and social impact can reinforce one another—and whether gratitude can become a principle for the banking system of the future.
