Internet of Things for SMEs without the need for new investments in machinery, digital platforms for sexual education and contact with specialists, advanced tools in the zootechnical field for the sanitation of farms. These are just a few examples of the types of technological projects developed by aspiring startups of GrandUP! Tech Academy 2023-2024, the training program for innovative entrepreneurs, which will be publicly presented during the Pitch Day scheduled for April 15th in Cuneo.

There are ten startup teams selected to participate in the program, who are now ready to present their projects: Dabycon, Euli, myReMuS, OneInput, QRTonic, Saniwash, SE.RI., Smartscholars, Unirooms, and YesPop.

During the event, each team will have seven minutes to present the result of months of work, plus three minutes to answer the in-depth questions from the evaluation jury, which will then select the best project proposals to offer them a pre-incubation path in I3P, the Incubator of the Polytechnic University of Turin, funded by the CRC Foundation.

The Academy’s initiative is part of the GrandUP! Tech project, promoted by the CRC Foundation in collaboration with I3P to support the development of an innovation ecosystem and the birth of new businesses in the Cuneo area. The activity was carried out within the framework of the “Memorandum of Understanding for Innovation and Digitalization of Companies in the Province of Cuneo“, signed in 2022 by the CRC Foundation and the Chamber of Commerce of Cuneo, with the participation of all the main trade associations in the area, including Coldiretti, Confagricoltura, Confartigianato, Confcommercio, Confindustria, and Legacoop.
