Welcome to the eighth edition of Spring of Innovation, the annual event to explore trends, address challenges and bring out opportunities in the world of innovation and technology transfer in Italy. The conference, organized by the E. Amaldi Foundation in collaboration with the Hypatia Research Consortium, Links Foundation, Polo ICT and CTE NEXT comes back to Turin on 4 and 5 April 2024, with a program full of engaging round tables and workshops involving local, national and international institutional, industrial and academic representatives. The theme of this edition is “INNOVATION AND SUSTAINABILITY FOR SPACE“, a compelling journey where cutting-edge technology will meet eco-sustainable solutions to redefine space exploration and industrial evolution. Among the objectives of the conference: to examine whether a development can be undertaken combining innovation, technology, finance and sustainability through the integration of space technologies and to understand how they can contribute to competitive commercial development at the local, national and European levels. During each session, the needs and challenges of the identified verticals will be present first, along with the role of institutions and industry, and the opportunities offered by investors.
