Collaborate

Thursday, March 26, 2026, from 2:00 PM to 7:00 PM at Binario 3 of OGR Turin, Future Urban Trends returns, the event organized by Stratosferica dedicated to urban tech and urban innovation. Participation is free, with mandatory registration.

The 2026 edition brings to Turin four international startups, presenting their solutions in Italy for the first time: Starship (robotics for last-mile logistics), Made of Air (carbon-negative construction materials), The Great Bubble Barrier (technologies to intercept plastic in rivers), and Coding the Curbs (digital management of urban spaces).

The event focuses on the main trends transforming cities, from autonomous mobility to decarbonization of buildings, to the management of environmental resources and public spaces.

In addition to the talks, there will be opportunities to participate in 1:1 business matching meetings with international founders to explore collaborations and development opportunities.

On March 31 at 9:30 AM in Alessandria, at the headquarters of Proplast, the first session of Tech Transfer Days will take place, a series of meetings promoted by the Sistema Poli di Innovazione Piemonte dedicated to business collaboration and technology transfer.

The first event will focus on industrial symbiosis, a model that allows companies to transform waste, by-products, and residual energy into new productive resources, promoting more efficient and circular processes.

During the day, technological solutions, concrete cases of business collaboration, and funding opportunities for circular economy projects will be presented. The program includes expert talks, company testimonials, and B2B networking sessions between companies, research centers, and innovation ecosystem actors.

The initiative is part of a series of three in-person meetings designed to foster new collaborations across production chains and accelerate the adoption of innovative solutions in industrial processes.

On March 18, 2026, the Energy Center of Politecnico di Torino will host the Forum on Business, Innovation, and Impact 2026, a day of discussion between startups, companies, investors, institutions, and the academic world from Italy and France on topics such as the development of entrepreneurial ecosystems, open innovation, and the green and digital transition.

The event, organized as part of the ATENA – Cross-Border Support for Emerging Impact Entrepreneurship project, funded by the Interreg France–Italy ALCOTRA program, brings together innovation stakeholders from both countries to discuss the conditions that foster the creation and growth of new businesses and the role of investment in supporting startups.

The morning will focus on the Italy–France entrepreneurial ecosystem, with interventions from institutions, investors, and researchers, and a panel on open innovation presenting collaboration experiences between startups and companies, with a focus on human resources and corporate welfare. In the afternoon, the discussion will continue on the challenges of the green and digital transition, with sessions dedicated to the agri-food, digital, and tourism sectors, involving companies, startups, and organizations from both countries.

On Tuesday, March 17 at 6:30 PM, at the ESCP Turin Campus, the 2026 edition of the Research on Startups and the Innovation Ecosystem in Turin will be presented, conducted by the Club degli Investitori with ToTeM Torino Tech Map, in partnership with ESCP Business School and Growth Capital.

The meeting will provide insights into the evolution of Turin’s innovation system over the past year, through updated data, scenario analysis, and firsthand accounts from startups, companies, and other ecosystem actors.

The program includes a presentation on “Venture Capital in Italy” by Growth Capital, the presentation of research results by Giancarlo Rocchietti, President of the Club degli Investitori, and a talk with startups from the Turin ecosystem moderated by Noa Segre from Zest Group.

The Shaping AI Futures Across Africa and Europe event will take place on Thursday, March 12, 2026, from 9:00 AM to 5:00 PM at the International Training Centre of the ILO (ITC-ILO), focusing on cooperation between African and European Artificial Intelligence ecosystems.

The initiative is co-organized by the City of Turin and the Casa delle Tecnologie Emergenti di Torino, in collaboration with MIMIT, MAECI, AI Hub for Sustainable Development, ITC-ILO, the Italian Institute for Artificial Intelligence, and the Turin Industrial Union, along with other innovation ecosystem partners.
