The end-of-year celebration of the Innovative Enterprise Incubator of the Polytechnic University of Turin returns for its 26th edition, taking place on Monday, 15 December from 5:30 PM at I3P.

At the centre of the event — funded by the Piedmont Region through the European Social Fund Plus (ESF+) — will be the many projects that animate the incubator, the young innovative companies shaping 2025, and the announcement of the new “I3P Startup of the Year”, selected for the results achieved throughout its growth journey.

Participants will have the opportunity to get to know the new companies that have joined I3P’s incubation programme, meet startuppers who are working to bring new ideas to life, and greet the companies that are “graduating” this year after successfully completing their incubation path.

The event will also offer a chance to explore the achievements of the fourth year of ESA BIC Turin, the space-startup incubation programme managed by I3P in collaboration with the European Space Agency (ESA), the Italian Space Agency (ASI), the Polytechnic University of Turin and the LINKS Foundation, and to meet the young talents supported through the initiative.

The evening will conclude with an informal moment dedicated to exchanging ideas, contacts, and holiday greetings, looking ahead to a new year grounded in innovation.
