Edge 2023 – The dynamic frontier of innovation
December 5th, 2023, h 9AM-4.30PM
Palazzo della Borsa Valori, Genoa
Why "Edge"?
Within the series of celebrations following the twentieth anniversary of IIT, EDGE 2023 - Innovation, Impact, Technology is an institutional event, organized by the Technology Transfer Directorate, and dedicated to innovation and the process of transferring research into the business context.
EDGE 2023 aims to set the stage for that delicate watershed between science and industry, irreplaceable actors in the knowledge and technology transfer process, but often distant in role and nature. Bringing them closer together, through finance and politics among the others, means working on the border between different worlds, interpreting multiple languages, finding a line, an edge, that welds distinct interests and goals. The ambition is for EDGE 2023 to be number "0" in a series of events to talk about Innovation, Impacts and Technology, to engage with the business and finance worlds, and to reason about the scientific and technological development of the country, the mission of the Italian Institute of Technology.
What to expect?
The event will feature keynote speeches, panel discussions and interviews with the participation of important industrial players and leaders in the field of innovation. There will also be a selection of the Institute's most promising startups and technologies. You will have the opportunity to immerse yourself in the innovation and technology transfer ecosystem, opening new perspectives and knowledge in these crucial areas.
Who is it aimed at?
Edge is aimed at the world of finance and industry, actively involving some of our researchers, with the goal of fostering a growing awareness of the Institute's activities at the border between research and industry.
