TIE-LL Technology Innovation Ecosystem

TIE Living Lab is hosted by DHITECH and stems from the research project VINCENTE (Virtual collective INtelligenCe ENvironment to develop sustainable Technology Entrepreneurship ecosystem), co-funded by the Italian Ministry of Education, University and Research. The TIE Living Lab’s mission is to conceive and promote, openly and collaboratively, a personalizable ecosystem of actors and stakeholders, relationships and resources, actions and initiatives to support potential entrepreneurs and companies in cultivating innovative ideas and entrepreneurial projects as well as developing entrepreneurial competencies and attitudes. By favouring the arising of ideas and the exchange of knowledge and experiences, TIE Living Lab enables the open dialogue among scientists, researchers, companies, entrepreneurs and investors, citizen and associations, local authorities, universities and public institutions to jointly conceive, design, and realize innovative solutions and entrepreneurial projects. These outcomes and flows contribute to the diffusion of an entrepreneurial culture and mindset in the entire region, to activate economic, social and cultural development processes which foster territorial growth and increase the attractiveness of the region itself.
