Turin's Rowing Regatta
Sport and fun, rivalry and tradition are blended in the Rowing Regatta in Turin, the famous race
that, for the very first time, welcomed the participation of ESCP Business School.
T
he historic rowing challenge
between the Politecnico di Torino
and the Università degli Studi di
Torino on the banks of the river Po celebrated
its 25th edition in 2022.
" We are thrilled to participate as guests in this
historic challenge between Politecnico and the
University of Turin. The Rowing Regatta is a
sporting event that also embodies networking
and sharing opportunities between students
of different universities and nationalities, held
in a dynamic and challenging environment. It
fits perfectly with the ESCP Business School's
philosophy of management education, which is
based on practice and teamwork, encouraging
students to continuously challenge themselves,
pushing beyond their limits, towards success, "

to Turin to compete in their first season race.
