NYC-based MIP alumni were treated to luxury Italian goodies and a session with the Eataly's CFO Adam Saper
On Saturday, 15th September, New York-based alumni from top Europan business school, MIP Politecnico di Milano gathered together for a networking aperitivo at foodie mecca Eataly near Madison Square Park.As well as being treated to delicious Italian goodies, MIP alumni also heard Eataly's CFO Adam Saper talking about how the business has been such a hit with both food critics and the public.
It was a great opportunity to listen to an exciting Italian entrepreneurial adventure in the States and to meet up once again with friends and ex classmates.
Eataly is a high-end Italian food market chain which first opened in Turin, Italy, in January 2007. The New York City Eataly opened in August 2010 with over 50,000 square feet (4,600 m2) of groceries and tasting rooms. It is co-owned by celebrity chef Mario Batali.
Here are some photos from the event!

Student Reviews
Polimi Graduate School of Management
Great technology competences related to the financial world
The program offers great technological and concrete competencies of the technology applied to the financial sector. Students are highly motivated and fun to be around. The courses are highly linked to innovative and forward-looking topics and deliver great career prospects.
Master in FinTech
Mip is a very organised school, the program of the Fintech master is really interesting and covers a lot of useful fields.
I believe the Carrer Development Center and the network of companies the school has is one of the best features of this master.
Suggested if u are interested in finance technologies and the interaction between them.
Gamechanger
MIP Politecnico di Milano was totally a gamechanger for me, I learned a lot and the exposure I got while studying here was unlimited.
This university is very flexible and student friendly, the professors are highly qualified and are devoted to their work.
The best part about this university is that if you have free time in your course, you can sit for other courses as well of your choices, being a civil engineer I always had affinity towards design, as I got a weeks off from my course I used to attend design lectures with other batches. This was really helpful to me.
