The world needs to put people at the center of its development. And economies must recognize a fundamental role in the most important economic factor: Human Capital. E.Di.Ma.S. was born in 2011 above all to support these simple concepts, because nothing can be achieved without respecting the environment which is in fact our home. Nothing can be done if there is no respect between people. Nothing can be done if the necessary security is not guaranteed to development. Our slogan is: “We can’t predict the future. We can build it”
