RAISE up: new section online and opening webinar of the second edition

The new section of the RAISE website dedicated to the RAISE up mentorship project is now online. It provides an overview of the recently concluded first edition and introduces the second edition, which will kick off on March 10, 2025, with the opening webinar: Mentorship & Community in a shared path.

The webinar marks the official start of the second edition of the program, offering an opportunity to discover the selected teams and the initiatives planned. It will be a key moment to understand the value of being part of the RAISE up Community and to explore the benefits of belonging to an innovation ecosystem.

The first edition of the RAISE up program involved 12 teams selected for their ability to develop innovative solutions. Participants benefited from one-to-one mentorship sessions and four key events, including three in-person and one online, which marked the growth path of the solutions.

The program guided the teams through the crucial stages of technology transfer, from refining the innovative idea to defining business models and strategic and financial aspects, addressing challenges related to interaction with the world of business and investment.

RAISE up is a program designed for the teams of innovators within the RAISE ecosystem who wish to enhance the results of their research. Aimed at promoting the development of entrepreneurial ideas based on research conducted within RAISE’s four vertical spokes, the program fosters the transfer of innovative solutions to the market, with a positive impact on the economic and social system.

The second edition will also be led by Spoke 5 of RAISE, supported by professionals from PwC Italy and I3P – Politecnico di Torino Incubator.
