Innovation Pub at University of Milan Bicocca

Published on n. 24 Management Innovation Newsletter

On the 28th February Emilio Sassone Corsi, CEO of Glass to Power, was invited to speak at the Innovation Pub on the theme “Innovation: from scouting to management. Glass to Power, how a successful company is born”. After a brief introduction in which he spoke about the NAUTILUS^© methodology and how this has been applied to two examples of success (Green Energy Storage and Glass to Power), about a hundred participants actively contributed to the debate inundating the speaker with questions. What emerged was a real brainstorming on the opportunities for innovation within a young and dynamic University such as the Bicocca and on how to deal with themes such as technology transfer and access to the market.

The concluding address was given by Prof. Danilo Porro, Rector’s delegate for the exploitation of Research, who presented as a preview a great video announcing the constitution of a Foundation between the University of Milan Bicocca, Bergamo, Brescia and Pavia.

It will be called U4I, University for Innovation, and will have the objectives of supporting the last mile, the most difficult for an innovative idea, so that the ideas of professors and researchers can become reality.
