Special Projects

Ecomondo is consolidating its role as an incubator and facilitator of innovative projects by reconfirming and enhancing the Start-Up and Scale-Up Innovation area in 2023.

An exhibition space, both physical and virtual, entirely reserved for innovative start-ups and young Italian and international companies offering energy transition-related services and/or products; a platform for dialogue between companies, investors and start-ups, which can put themselves on the map within an international trade show environment, meet potential partners and launch their brand.

The initiative is organised by Italian Exhibition Group, promoted in partnership with the Italian Trade Agency, with ART-ER (Attrattività Ricerca Territorio), an Emilia-Romagna consortium, as the main partner.
