After the success of the first three editions, which involved all the BCCs of the BCC Iccrea Group, with over 500 innovators registered, 200 ideas selected and 16 winning projects, the fourth edition of the BCC Innovation Festival is under way.
The initiative is aimed at identifying the best business ideas in the field of innovation technology and facilitating their growth and market positioning. The application is free of charge and the deadline for submission is 13 May 2025.
Organised with the support of Knowledge Institute as a strategic consulting partner, this year the project will be further enriched by the collaboration of Accenture as main sponsor, which will make available its many years of experience in the field of digital transformation and sustainability and facilitate the winners' access to its ecosystem of projects, partners, suppliers and clients for possible synergies.
A current collaboration with your local BCC to register your idea for the project is not a prerequisite for participation in the initiative.
The Road to Festival offers a second step in the journey, where the Champions selected will receive training to finalise a technical presentation of their project to the judges at the final Festival Day. The winning projects will be chosen on that day and will go through a cycle dedicated to growth in order to then propose their innovations to the market and raise capital. At the end of this phase, the winning Champions will be able to meet with investors, including venture capital funds, business angels and private equity, and participate in international networking events.
LThe 2025 edition of the BCC Innovation Festival will also see the confirmation of a virtual room in the Metaverse called BCC Innovation World, where users will be able to gather more information on the initiative and engage with the various actors involved, from partners and sponsors to other members of the community.
