"Nasce REF-E.
A dieci anni dalla sua creazione REF si riorganizza per meglio promuovere lo sviluppo delle proprie attività. In REF-E confluiscono le attività e il gruppo di lavoro specializzato nelle analisi della concorrenza e della regolazione nel settore energetico e ambientale in Italia e in Europa. "
I am thinking "REF-E is born" as in "A baby is born" and wish to know what people think. Normally, I almost never use "born" for nasce, but they want to make an advertising splash and I feel it could work here.
Obviously I'm open to other ideas.
REF is a firm of consultants in the field of economics. http://www.ref-online.it/it/chi-siamo/ref/
They are creating a sort of internal division called REF-E where E stands for Energy. That division/working group specialises in the economics of energy markets.
The client's suggestions were:
REF-E goes alive. Non mi piace-..... cosa dici di Let is announce the foundation of REF-E!
Oppure REF-E is born
CLEARLY I have REF's permission to put this in the public domain here, now.

| They might like "goes live", but it sounds like a broadcast. |

: I don't care whether the client likes it, it's a good idea, and it fits with the idea of energy (though "alive" is obviously wrong).

Discussion
"REF-E is born" makes me think of "A star is born", so no I'm not crazy about it.
Or "had"..
a) No absolutely not, use this instead
b) Not bad, but you might consider this as an alternative
c) Yeah sounds great, why not.
Clearly if you thkn c) then post it.
