Organised in collaboration with leading innovation organisations across Europe, SPIN: Rise offers researchers a unique opportunity to gain entrepreneurial skills, explore commercialisation pathways, and build European networks.

The programme includes:

• 6–8 weeks of expert-led online training and one-on-one mentoring

Researchers can apply to one of four industry-themed tracks:

• Pitch the Science: Digital and circular innovation in manufacturing, hosted by B4i – Bocconi for innovation, with a bootcamp in Milan

Participants will explore key pathways for creating commercial impact, including IP valorisation through licensing and industry partnerships, as well as new venture creation. They will gain practical tools to align their research with real-world needs, build the foundations of a sustainable business case, and prepare for funding and market entry.

Applications are now open and will be reviewed on a rolling basis until 15 September 2025.
