StartupItalia Open Summit 2025

Ecosystem partners at StartupItalia Open Summit 2025
The overarching theme of this 10th edition was 'Digital Renaissance': an approach that encourages entrepreneurs, start-ups and thinkers to consider how technology can enhance, rather than replace, human beings in an era of great transformation. Topics such as artificial intelligence, pervasive digitisation and contemporary challenges formed the focus of the debate, with the aim of creating an inclusive technological future in which humans continue to be at the heart of innovation.
Through the Innovation Village, workshops, and the SIOS25 Main Stage, Spoke 1 partners, including the Politecnico di Torino, LINKS Foundation, and I3P, as well as startups supported by and born with Spoke 1, such as Deplotic, shared their vision with the innovation players in attendance.
NODES represents a strategically important area undergoing transformation, capable of identifying innovation needs at a national and international level. Turin has been confirmed as the ideal location in which to showcase and reinforce this well-established innovation network.
Giuseppe Scellato, scientific coordinator of NODES Spoke 1, professor at Politecnico di Torino and president of I3P, engaged in direct dialogue with some of the major local investors and promising start-ups. In particular, he discussed how, through I3P and collaboration with NODES and ESA BIC Turin, the creation and development of start-ups is favored, in order to promote industrial competitiveness, particularly in the aerospace sector — a key area for Spoke 1 in NODES.
Spoke 1 has the ambition to consolidate a leadership position, based on scientific excellence and knowledge transfer to the industrial fabric.
