Corporate partnerships
Innovation means creating knowledge, evolving it, and transforming it into opportunities for social and economic progress. At UNIPI, our researchers address real-world challenges in close collaboration with companies, often providing access to cutting-edge technologies not available in-house. Through this strong partnership, our students benefit from an education that remains tightly aligned with the evolving demands of the labor market.

Networking
The interplay between research, industry, and society is a vital engine of innovation. UNIPI actively cultivates this dialogue through structured initiatives such as Converging Skills and Innovation Lunches, as well as through opportunities enabled by our vibrant Alumni community.
Entrepreneurial Culture
Innovation is also driven by cultivating an entrepreneurial culture—one that enables knowledge to flow seamlessly between academia and industry.
To support this vision, the University of Pisa has launched the course “Startup and Multidisciplinarity: A Roadmap”and established the Contamination Lab—spaces designed to spark creativity, foster interdisciplinary collaboration, and equip the academic community with entrepreneurial skills.
Business Acceleration: Start Attractor
Transforming knowledge into impact also means fostering innovative enterprises born from research. UNIPI actively promotes an entrepreneurial mindset through concrete initiatives that support the creation and growth of early-stage ventures.
Start Attractor, launched in collaboration with local institutions and leading industrial partners, guides promising ideas from the lab to the market—empowering researchers and innovators to turn their visions into reality.
