The capital hosted the annual European celebration of the Business Elite Awards at The St. Regis, one of the most significant international awards dedicated to entrepreneurs and managers under 40. Among this year’s protagonists is the Italian Daniele Bartocci, active in the agri-food and journalistic communication sectors, who was awarded the title of “most influential young Europeans under 40 in the world of the year 2025 on business and innovation.”
Bartocci, originally from the Marche region, boasts a CV already enriched by numerous sector awards, including the Food Manager of the Year awards and inclusion in the 100 Italian Excellences at Montecitorio. The award not only celebrates economic influence, but recognizes the quality, determination and ambition of young leaders called upon to shape the world of business. The Awards and the 40under40 community have brought together leading international figures, creating concrete networking opportunities between companies, innovators and the managerial class.
The awardee expressed the significance of the recognition, placing emphasis on the values of perseverance and trust in the national context: “I am honored to have received this important recognition in the Capital. It is an award that gives me even more stimuli and motivation to continue my professional path within the agri-food and communication panorama. A recognition that I want to share with all those who have supported me over the years. But also and above all with all those young people who strongly believe in the values of sacrifice, choosing to stay and invest in their country, also building value with tenacity and passion.”
Bartocci, during his career, has received numerous awards in the food and sports sector, including the Myllennium Award 2020 (awarded by the then Minister Vincenzo Spadafora) and the Andrea Fortunato award at the CONI Hall of Honour, confirming his transversal influence between economics, communication and sporting values.
