Applications are open for selection of 15 Tuscan start-ups and innovative SMEs that will participate in the second edition of the Toscana Tech on the Road promotion initiative, to be held in San Francisco from 2 to 6 December 2024 at “Casa Toscana” at Innovit – Italian Innovation and Culture Hub.
Tuscan start-ups and innovative SMEs that have developed solutions in the domains identified by the Regional Strategy for Smart Specialisation S3 for the period 2021-2027, with priority given to artificial intelligence, robotics and biotechnology, which are those with the greatest potential for the area, will be able to express interest in participating in the initiative. Silicon Valley is a highly competitive, highly dynamic area, and it is therefore necessary for companies applying to be well-structured, present highly innovative solutions and have a fluent knowledge of English.
Companies can apply at the following link  from 28 August 2024 to 23 September 2024 at 11.59 p.m.
Participation in the initiative is free of charge. The 15 selected companies will be guaranteed coverage of the costs of their stay in San Francisco, as a ‘de minimis’ contribution for the beneficiary company.
The initiative realised within the framework of the Casa Toscana project, in collaboration with the Regional Council and the Consulate General of Italy in San Francisco, is aimed at promoting the image of Tuscany and the regional ecosystem of high-tech innovation in Silicon Valley, the world cradle of innovation, the centre of the global ecosystem of high-tech start-ups, with a very significant presence of investors. This is a new opportunity to promote Tuscan high technology in Silicon Valley and strengthen the relationships already established, through a programme that includes training, meetings and networking with qualified US operators, such as investors, corporations and research centres.
