On February 19, 2026, at 18:00, we return with our first Bytes & Books meetup of the year.

This year, we’re kicking off our monthly Bytes & Books series with an inspiring book theme:
“The biographies of ICT business geniuses in one book… and the future that awaits us.”

At this meetup, we’ll have the pleasure of discussing Prof. Adrian Civici’s book “Business Geniuses” (Vol. I & II), with a special focus on the biographies of ICT business leaders, from Bill Gates to Sam Altman, and on the world and society they have changed and continue to reshape.

This is not just a collection of 48 biographies of the world’s most prominent business figures.
It is a collection of 48 stories and role models that spark the imagination of anyone who wants to step into the world of markets and entrepreneurship. The book presents these models with their ups and downs, their complex relationships with markets and the state, their business philosophies, and the mindset that turns obstacles into advantages. It highlights how resilience, through adaptive and flexible behavior, remains a key to long-term success.

The author has selected 48 business geniuses, from Rockefeller, Andrew Carnegie, and Steve Jobs to Bill Gates, Elon Musk, and Sam Altman — also viewed through the lens of our own context, where dreams and challenges, courage and mindset, strategy and innovation remain non-negotiable elements for success.

Prof. Civici will join us in person for an engaging conversation about the impact that business, especially ICT, is having on professions and on the society we live in.
