“Nothing makes you grow like an opponent. Because by constantly striving to give your best and outdo each other, you both become better.”

Over 25 million mobile and fixed-line customers, market shares of 26% and 30% respectively, and revenues of around €7.3 billion: these are the first key figures of Fastweb+Vodafone, just over a year after the integration that began in January 2025 and united two of Italy’s leading telecommunications networks into a single technological ecosystem, already recognized for its advanced connectivity and digital services.

In this session, participants will have the opportunity to engage with a leader who has experienced firsthand the evolution of a sector in constant motion — moving from the competition between major players to the creation of a single, forward-looking force.

After leading Fastweb through a phase of strong digitalization and sustainability, Walter Renna, CEO and Chairman of the Executive Committee of Fastweb+Vodafone, now oversees the new organization with the goal of combining the strengths of both companies. As his career demonstrates, competition can be the engine of growth — and great transformations happen only when talent, technology, and vision work together.

Through his testimony, participants will be able to:

• discover how collaboration can emerge from competition, transforming differences into shared strengths
• understand the importance of shared innovation as a driver for collective growth and lasting value
• become agents of change with vision, trust, and responsibility — to lead transformation and be part of it.
