1
00:00:00.200 --> 00:00:05.853
We should reconsider
our economic and social paradigms,

2
00:00:06.041 --> 00:00:11.006
we are starting to see
new formulas, new models,

3
00:00:12.794 --> 00:00:15.695
there is a new social finance,

4
00:00:15.881 --> 00:00:19.740
which can meet such needs.

5
00:00:19.940 --> 00:00:25.033
There exist very interesting
public administration experiments

6
00:00:25.222 --> 00:00:28.440
that guarantee private investors,

7
00:00:28.626 --> 00:00:33.738
who provide services
through non-profit organizations,

8
00:00:34.104 --> 00:00:37.676
NGOs, or social enterprises.

9
00:00:38.281 --> 00:00:43.030
Then we have positive economy,
based on rational altruism,

10
00:00:43.256 --> 00:00:49.232
which tends towards the interests
of future generations,

11
00:00:50.593 --> 00:00:55.441
it should allow us not to be
slaves of the short term,

12
00:00:55.704 --> 00:01:01.106
being able to invest in the
interests of future generations,

13
00:01:01.416 --> 00:01:05.171
being them states or
local administrations,

14
00:01:05.345 --> 00:01:08.210
enterprises, territories,

15
00:01:08.386 --> 00:01:13.160
everything in the interest
of future generations.

16
00:01:13.424 --> 00:01:18.095
For years, we've lived
thinking about conquest,

17
00:01:18.422 --> 00:01:22.843
conquering countries,
economic conquest,

18
00:01:23.074 --> 00:01:25.310
success,

19
00:01:25.594 --> 00:01:28.135
conquest of power.

20
00:01:28.744 --> 00:01:34.512
I think that nowadays
our world needs care.

21
00:01:34.722 --> 00:01:40.697
Most of this migration
is an economic migration,

22
00:01:41.169 --> 00:01:44.256
it's not due to wars,

23
00:01:44.485 --> 00:01:49.702
it's due to the lack of quality
of life and development.

24
00:01:51.628 --> 00:01:55.023
In order to address
this kind of migration,

25
00:01:55.226 --> 00:02:00.505
I think we should invest
in those countries,

26
00:02:00.758 --> 00:02:04.189
creating human and social capital.

27
00:02:04.454 --> 00:02:10.041
This is what I tried to do in
Milan Catholic University,

28
00:02:11.383 --> 00:02:14.294
together with a group
of entrepreneurs,

29
00:02:14.526 --> 00:02:17.942
we created a foundation
called E4impact,

30
00:02:18.232 --> 00:02:21.576
which stands for
Entrepreneurship for Impact.

31
00:02:21.791 --> 00:02:23.487
Strangely enough,

32
00:02:23.713 --> 00:02:26.368
Italy is not among
the main investors in Africa,

33
00:02:26.573 --> 00:02:30.348
and Africa is growing
at a rate of 5% or more,

34
00:02:30.603 --> 00:02:35.485
there would be many opportunities
for our enterprises,

35
00:02:37.558 --> 00:02:43.017
but also the difficulties of working
in such a big continent,

36
00:02:44.215 --> 00:02:47.872
with many differences
between one country and the other.

37
00:02:48.072 --> 00:02:53.603
Having an access point
like E4impact,

38
00:02:54.967 --> 00:02:58.619
with its project First-step Africa,

39
00:02:58.780 --> 00:03:02.646
which helps companies
enter the market

40
00:03:02.827 --> 00:03:05.821
by training managers on site,

41
00:03:06.021 --> 00:03:10.591
it is definitely an advantage
for our entrepreneurial system.

42
00:03:11.036 --> 00:03:14.025
San Patrignano is
a community for life,

43
00:03:14.220 --> 00:03:19.271
a place where
everyone finds understanding,

44
00:03:21.518 --> 00:03:26.350
care and attention
to their frailties.

45
00:03:27.430 --> 00:03:31.450
Its success depends on the fact
that it's free, first of all,

46
00:03:31.845 --> 00:03:36.247
they know that
it is for their own good,

47
00:03:36.407 --> 00:03:39.745
there's no economic interest
behind.

48
00:03:39.921 --> 00:03:44.418
The second key point
is the duration,

49
00:03:44.592 --> 00:03:47.973
San Patrignano is a
long-term community,

50
00:03:48.140 --> 00:03:50.872
from 3 to 4 years.

51
00:03:51.086 --> 00:03:54.348
Unfortunately the failures
of short-term communities...

52
00:03:54.626 --> 00:03:57.936
...are evident.

53
00:03:58.852 --> 00:04:02.716
And the last point is that each boy
is guided by another,

54
00:04:02.909 --> 00:04:06.211
there's a mentor for each one,

55
00:04:06.385 --> 00:04:11.036
who is not a psychologist
or a psychiatrist, a doctor,

56
00:04:11.206 --> 00:04:15.436
they are young men who have
already gone through that path,

57
00:04:15.600 --> 00:04:18.543
they understand the difficulties
of the newcomer.
