Festival of Economics 2026: where to follow the events live and the detailed programme
From 20 May until 24 May 2026 the 21st edition of the Trento Festival of Economics: links to live coverage
The 21st edition of the Trento Festival of Economics opened today 20 May until 24 May 2026. This event, in the formula devised in 2022 by the Il Sole 24 ORE Group together with Trentino Marketing on behalf of the Autonomous Province of Trento and with the contribution of the Municipality of Trento and the University of Trento, has seen the "squirrel people" grow extraordinarily, reaching over 140,000 attendees in four years.
And it was precisely the great success of the public and the rich programme of meetings on the programme that convinced the organisers to introduce an important new feature in 2026: to increase the number of days of the event to five, bringing together top-level representatives of the economic, academic, political and business community at national and international level.
Here is the detailed programme for Thursday 21 May and the programme for Friday 22 May.
