The teams will be able to refine their projects and subsequently access training courses offered by the Rete Hubs.
The top 5 ideas will receive prizes of up to 3,000 euros and will participate in an Experience Tour at national incubators and accelerators. Additionally, Invitalia will offer support services for submitting applications to its incentives.

The Laboratory is part of the Rete Project, promoted by the Minister for Sport and Youth and the Department for Youth Policies and Universal Civil Service, in collaboration with Invitalia. The Rete Project supports young people on their journey towards the world of work and entrepreneurship, offering resources and training through the territorial Hubs.
The Laboratory for Entrepreneurship is carried out in collaboration with the Italian Academy of Business Economics – AIDEA.

All set for the Hackathon to turn entrepreneurial dreams into reality: best of luck to all the students involved!
