On Monday, February 3rd, 2025, the fifth General Assembly of the NODES Innovation Ecosystem - Northern Digital and Sustainable (Nord Ovest Digitale E Sostenibile) will take place.   After the last meeting in Verbania, held last July on Lake Maggiore, the Ecosystem will this time meet at the foot of the hills between Langhe and Roero, in the charming setting of the University of Gastronomic Sciences in Pollenzo, near Bra (Cn). "From results to impact" will be the theme and guiding principle of the day: during the event, the Ecosystem will be called to assess the results achieved by the project and to look concretely toward the future. Registrations are open. 2025 will mark the conclusion of the NODES program, but more importantly, it will serve as a crucial springboard to transform the investments and work done into concrete, useful, and lasting results. With this goal in mind, the Assembly will not only review the current state of the program but will also be tasked with identifying pathways and initiatives for 2025. The meeting with Universities, Innovation Hubs, Research Centers, Incubators, Competence Centers, and Accelerators is therefore a must-mark on the calendar, offering a day of exchange between experiences, ideas, and methodologies.   GENERAL ASSEMBLY NODES From results to impact POLLENZO
