What to Expect from the Event

I³/NYC is organizing the inaugural Italian Innovation Week, an immersive, five‐day initiative that spotlights Italy’s leading innovations, fostering deep collaboration between Italian and U.S. ecosystems to drive bilateral business opportunities, cross‐pollination, and sustainable growth.
The journey begins with a three‐day mission tailored for a selective group of Italian startups and SMEs, offering exclusive access to cutting‐edge corporate innovation labs, dynamic workshops, and targeted roundtables with top investors and ecosystem partners.

On Day Four, our flagship Italian Innovation Day transforms a premier New York venue into a bustling hub of discovery—keynote speeches from industry visionaries, interactive panels, and an Innovation Corner showcasing 15–20 Italian companies that demonstrate Italy’s tech, design, and biotech leadership. The final day invites participants to experience a curated five‐hour exploration of New York City’s most inspiring cultural and business districts, organized by a trusted local partner to cement new relationships and spark fresh insights.

Supported by the Italian Consulate, the Italian Trade Agency, and featuring SMAU, CDP, and our main sponsors, this week is an unmissable platform for Italian firms seeking to amplify their U.S. presence. As a sponsor or delegate, you’ll position your brand at the epicenter of transatlantic innovation—connecting with decision‐makers, attracting talent, and forging partnerships that accelerate growth on both sides of the ocean. Join us for an electrifying fusion of Italian creativity and New York’s entrepreneurial energy—where ideas become ventures and collaborations become legacies.
