SMAU | Italy RestartsUp in Paris

SMAU | Italy RestartsUp in Paris – taking place on April 15th – goes beyond geographical borders, aiming to create a strong connection between the Italian innovation ecosystem, the Parisian hub, and the French market. The initiative provides a fertile ground for startups, corporates, investors, and innovation stakeholders from both Italy and France.

This collaborative effort is not only about showcasing the growth of Italian startups or addressing corporate needs; it offers French investors and entrepreneurs a firsthand view of dynamic innovation landscapes across multiple sectors. In particular, startups operating in Industry, Mobility, Retail, Smart Communities, AgriFood, and Healthcare will take center stage.

A carefully curated selection of 50 Italian startups will represent the forefront of Italian innovation, presenting cutting-edge solutions and disruptive technologies. Alongside the startups, innovation teams from approximately 15 of Italy’s largest corporations will be present, seeking to connect with key players in the Parisian innovation ecosystem.

The synergy between startups and large corporations creates a vibrant environment for the exchange of ideas and expertise. By engaging with Italian startups, French investors and corporates gain insights into the agility, creativity, and transformative potential of these sectors. At the same time, this collaboration enables startups to access valuable resources, mentorship, and industry-specific knowledge, empowering them to grow and compete in an increasingly complex market.

For these reasons, SMAU | Italy RestartsUp in Paris aims to be a key catalyst for business innovation, strengthening ties between the Italian and French innovation ecosystems and fostering an environment where diverse sectors converge, collaborate, and accelerate the innovation process.
