In May 2014, Trentino Sviluppo concluded a strategic agreement with Unicredit S.p.A. to jointly develop new support strategies for start-up companies. The purpose of the partnership is to foster a fruitful exchange of views on innovative technology to encourage synergies among start-up companies, in a perspective of sustainability and international openness. By combining the know-how of Polo Meccatronica with the mentoring skills and market knowledge of Unicredit, the aim is to foster the growth of the most promising enterprises. This partnership will be particularly valuable for the enterprises involved in Polo Meccatronica, since they will gain access to the tools made available to start-up companies by Unicredit, beginning with Start Lab, the acceleration scheme targeting new enterprises belonging to all sectors. In addition to a financial reward, this scheme also offers support activities such as mentorship, network development assistance, and targeted training programmes.
