Relations with Companies
Innovation involves developing knowledge, evolving it, and transforming it into opportunities for social and economic progress. Our researchers tackle real-world problems and engage with companies using state-of-the-art technologies that they might not have access to in-house. Thanks to this committed collaboration promoted by UNIPI, our students receive education that is consistently aligned with the latest labour market requirements.

Networking
The interaction between research, business, and society is an essential driver of innovation. UNIPI consistently fosters constructive dialogue through structured events like Converging Skills and Innovation Lunches, as well as through opportunities provided by the Alumni community.
Entrepreneurial Culture
Innovation is also promoted through the dissemination of an entrepreneurial culture, which provides the tools to foster osmosis between the academic and business worlds.
The University of Pisa has established the course ‘Startup and Multidisciplinarity: a Roadmap’ and the Contamination Lab to enhance the creativity of the academic community and integrate academic knowledge with entrepreneurial skills
Business Acceleration: Start Attractor
The enhancement of knowledge also involves the creation of innovative enterprises based on research outcomes. UNIPI supports the promotion of an entrepreneurial culture through concrete actions aimed at supporting the formation and growth of young companies.
The Start Attractor project, launched by UNIPI in collaboration with local organizations and major industrial groups, takes ideas by the hand and guides them to the market.
