October 2024

Trentino is ready for SMAU Milano 2024. The largest event in Italy dedicated to matching supply and demand in the world of innovation will be held on 29 and 30 October at FieraMilanoCity. There will be several moments in which Trentino Sviluppo and Trentino companies will be protagonists:

  • 5 local start-ups will present their business ideas at the booth organised by Trentino Sviluppo
  • two companies from the province of Trento, Bauer and Aquafil, will be awarded the prestigious Innovation Award
  • Trentino Sviluppo will participate in the round table on the agrifood supply chain

The Trentino exhibition stand and the 5 startups

Trentino Sviluppo referents will be at SMAU Milano starting from the networking evening organized on 28 October. On the following two days the 5 startups, selected by the territorial development agency through a public call, will have dedicated exhibition spaces (stand D28 and next - single pavilion), but not only. Each reality will be involved in a series of activities, meeting and networking moments, organised with the aim of maximising opportunities to meet potential customers and partners.
