Andrea Dal Piaz is an economist specialized in microfinance and the development of business ideas. With Micro Progress Onlus, of which he has been president since 2011, he proposes a method for the productive use of remittances from the Bangladeshi community (2011), designs and creates a competition for social innovators in the Lazio region (Give credit to your ideas – 2012/2013 ), works on an experimental path for business startups aimed at refugees (ReLab – startup your business 2012/2014) and co-designs a program for widespread access to entrepreneurship (CrowdImpact 2014/2015). He has collaborated with international organizations such as IOM and FAO and with NGOs such as IPSIA and SAL, in the sectors of remittances for development and local economic development. He currently coordinates the Douala 5 business incubator (Cameroon), aimed at young Cameroonians with ideas with a strong social impact, for which he has designed an ad hoc incubation methodology. The underlying theme of his path is the search for economic sustainability in the spaces between apparently distant realities, through contamination, with the intention of overcoming some imposed distinctions, such as those between profit and non-profit, rich countries and developing countries, work and free time.
