Raise up
Raise up
RAISE up is the mentorship program for teams of innovators in the RAISE ecosystem who wish to exploit the results of their research. The program supports the development of business ideas based on the results of research carried out in the context of the 4 vertical spokes of RAISE, in order to facilitate the transfer of innovative solutions to the market for the benefit of the economic and social system. The RAISE up programme is managed by RAISE Spoke 5, supported by professionals from PwC Italia and I3P – Incubator of the Politecnico di Torino.
Ecosystem
Ecosystem
The RAISE project was financed by the Ministry of University and Research (MUR) with Investment 1.5 (M4C2) of the National Recovery and Resilience Plan (NRRP) which envisaged the creation and strengthening of innovation ecosystems on areas of technological specialization consistent with the industrial and research vocations of the reference territory, promoting and strengthening collaboration between the research system, the production system and territorial institutions.
25 partners from Academia and Research, institutions and companies join RAISE wich is coordinated by the University of Genoa (UNIGE), the National Research Council (CNR) and the Italian Institute of Technology (IIT).
Goals
RAISE aims to develop and market technological solutions based on robotic systems and artificial intelligence, responding to the real production and social needs of the Ligurian territory. The project aims to enhance and give value to research and development of these technologies in various areas of interest, including healthcare, environmental sustainability, smart ports and accessible and inclusive smart cities. RAISE focuses on the needs of people and the territory, encouraging the transfer of innovative technologies from research to the market, providing resources, knowledge and support to generate sustainable, inclusive and resilient innovation. Furthermore, the project aims to create a highly attractive ecosystem for companies, investors and researchers, both nationally and internationally.
- The Hub is the entity responsible for the start-up, implementation, management and coordination of the Innovation Ecosystem and represents the single point of contact with the MUR: receives the tranches of concessions granted, verifies and transmits the reporting of the activities carried out by the Spokes and their affiliates.
- The Spokes maintain an institutional role in communication and funding, particularly in impact areas. They are the primary source of information to convey specific themes based on the different actors involved in the project. Each project is generated within each Spoke where researchers, startups, SMEs, public administrations, institutions are actively involved. The Spokes are the living part of the project and represent the place where the primary objective is achieved: technological transfer to the market, moving from the laboratories to the real world of supply and demand on the market. In particular, among these, Spoke 5 acts as an intermediary between research and industry, the technologies deriving from the RAISE scientific Spokes (1-4) and companies. In addition to incubation, acceleration and training programs, Spoke 5 coordinates, develops and measures communication strategies, tactics and actions to support the HUB and the entire ecosystem.
What are Spokes?
RAISE is organized according to the Hub & Spoke governance system and it is divided into 5 areas of intervention on individual themes, dedicated to the development of innovative technologies in strategic areas for the territory (city – health – environment – port).
Each spoke has a coordinator and a specific committee has been designated by the hub to represent the research organizations involved.
Partners
Each spoke brings together researchers from different research centers (23 affiliated public and private entities) under conjoint coordination for the implementation of the strategic plan of the ecosystem.
