Summary

Builder of a pan‑European edtech + coworking platform: Davide co‑founded Talent Garden in 2011 and grew it into a multi‑campus network and digital skills academy, combining physical coworking, large B2B upskilling programs and consumer training. The Talent Garden × Hyper Island move is a clear example of his strategy to scale educational offerings across markets. davidedattoli+2
