Francesco Vincenti, founder of Digitalia, spent two weeks volunteering at the ZuConnect event in Istanbul. Digitalia is seeking many sources of funding from other crowdfunding campaigns and web3 grants, influential private investors in network states/startup Cities, corporate partners and local brands who see direct value in sponsoring the project, public grants from the local administrations, the Italian govt, and finally raising money from the ticket sales. Also, during Digitalia, an incubator for projects will be set up as a source of economic sustainability for Digitalia’s future with a clear ROI strategy.  Digitalia tracks are focused on:  1. Revaluation and Regeneration of Italian Culture and Territory (Surrounded by a Holistic Healthy Lifestyle Approach). 2. Innovative Environments for Entrepreneurs, Businesses and Schools.  3. Public Goods in the Era of New Smart Cities & Network States. 4. Crypto and Web3 Tools for Digital Innovation, AI, and STEM R&D.
