The second edition of GrowER League is now underway. The project, organised by the Young Entrepreneurs of Confindustria Emilia-Romagna, in collaboration with Intesa Sanpaolo, aims to promote the culture of open innovation at companies in Emilia-Romagna.

In particular, GrowER League aims to stimulate companies to work together with selected startups to create new business opportunities with a specific focus on innovation and sustainability.

The focus of this year is the climate-tech sector, that is innovative digital technologies developed to reduce carbon dioxide emissions. The startups active in this area – selected through the Intesa Sanpaolo Innovation Centre network and with the support of Growix – are: AWorld, Ecoplasteam, ESGeo, MiPU and UTwin.

Companies interested in participating can express their interest until 30 June 2024  through the dedicated website.
