Introduction to the second edition of RAISE up
The second edition of the RAISE up Mentorship Program, promoted by Spoke 5 of RAISE and supported by PwC Italy and I3P - Incubator of Politecnico di Torino, is more than just a growth journey for research teams. It is also a unique opportunity for companies, investors, and other stakeholders to engage in an ecosystem that accelerates technology transfer and enhances innovative solutions based on artificial intelligence and robotics.
In addition to one-to-one mentorship sessions, the program will feature three key events designed to guide teams through different stages of their development. These events are not just milestones but true testing grounds where participating teams will present their progress, gather constructive feedback, and connect with industry experts and stakeholders.
