Ho conosciuto Nicola qualche anno fa in fase di sviluppo del progetto Digital Innovation Hub di Confcommercio (EDI). Ho fin da subito apprezzato la sua esperienza e conoscenza sul tema innovazione digitale e sulla getsione delle opportunità che si presentano a livello nazionale ed internazionale. Competenza e professionalità ne completano il profilo.

Ho avuto l'occasione di lavorare a contatto con Nicola Bianchi nell'ambito di un progetto (Talentitaly) del Ministero dell'Istruzione, dell'Università e della Ricerca volto alla creazione di challenge prize per lo sviluppo dell'innovazione in Italia. Sono rimasta profondamente colpita dalla professionalità e dalla precisione sul lavoro di Nicola, ma, soprattutto, dalla sua dedizione al progetto, che lo portava a mettere a disposizione, in maniera generosa, anche il suo tempo libero. Spero di poter avere l'occasione di lavorare a progetti futuri con una persona preparata, nonché un instancabile lavoratore come Nicola. A questo proposito, mi sento di dover dire che il nostro Paese ha davvero bisogno di giovani come Nicola.
