Deep tech startup generation

A Suite of Services and Programmes to Generate High-Value Companies

We implement systemic initiatives to support the creation and growth of deep tech startups on a national and international scale, operating in sectors such as life sciences, materials science, advanced digital technologies and green energy supply chains. We connect research with industry, primarily by providing direct access to our research and technological infrastructures also through competitive calls as Deep Tech Revolution.

We also promote acceleration and open innovation programmes, developed in collaboration with key players in the Italian innovation ecosystem, alongside scale-up and internationalisation initiatives aimed at facilitating access to global markets and capital.

In doing so, we promote the social and economic development of the territory.
