ITALIA STARTUP – STARTUPBUSINESS AGREEMENT
IN SUPPORT OF NEW INNOVATIVE COMPANIES
The association of reference for the Italian startup ecosystem signs a partnership agreement with the sector’s most important community
Milan, June 13th2013 – Italia Startup, the non-profit Association that represents the Italian startup ecosystem signs an agreement with Startupbusiness, a network that brings together more than 4.000 new innovative companies and institutional and market interlocutors, all belonging to this vast sector.
“Italia Startup brings together all those who are geared towards revitalizing our country, through the development of new innovative entrepreneurship – says Federico Barilli, Secretary General of the Association – this is why we believe that the partnership with Startupbusiness is strategic: Startupebusiness is a community of reference for the Italian startup ecosystem and has been operating for over five years, starting when this sector was still in the shadows, to unite and bring to light those who truly believe in the will to embark in new ventures, which is spreading more and more throughout the national territory. The agreement signed with the network conceived and coordinated by Emil Abirascid allows us to expand our range and to consolidate our role as reference point, both at national and at an international level, for Italian startups.”
“Italia Startup has chosen Startupbusiness as a valuable partner because of the activities that we’ve been conducting over the years to support and sustain the ecosystem of innovative startups – says Emil Abirascid, creator of Startupbusiness – and also for the in-depth and consolidated knowledge that we have acquired over the years in this sector. Transforming Italy into a “Startup Nation” is a goal for both of us. We’re convinced that it already is in part and that therefore it is necessary to bring to light the many excellent enterprises that already exist in the country and that need above all to be valorized and organized. Who better than Italia Startup can do this? I am therefore pleased to be able to lend a hand in the development of the Association of reference for the sector, which today already brings together many people and excellent businesses and which, also thanks to us, will be able to take on an ever more consolidated role as guide and coordinator of a sector that is strategic for the economic and social development of the country.”
The agreement between the two organizations provides, among other things, that both organizations promote meetings and events with the common goal of valorizing recently-established entrepreneurial initiatives by bringing them in touch with the consolidated world of Italian industry (Made in Italy, but not only), as well as with national and international investors.
In this context, a very important role will be played by the joint collaboration with Smau, the event that has been following closely for years the startup world and that facilitates, on the national territory, the meeting between companies and entrepreneurial and innovative realities.
