We connect researchers and companies to foster innovation projects

We connect researchers, companies, and institutions to foster innovation projects and encourage the adoption of new technologies. Fondazione Politecnico di Milano acts as a bridge between the university and the productive system, facilitating the transfer of research results into practical applications and solutions that create value for society and the economy.

From Need to Shared Innovation

We help companies, organizations, and public administrations connect with the Politecnico di Milano research groups best suited to their technological development needs. Starting from a specific need—a new product, a more efficient process, or a more digital and sustainable public service—we build tailored collaborations that transform ideas into concrete research and experimental activities. From defining the topic to managing the project, the Foundation supports each partner at every stage, promoting shared innovation between public and private sectors.

From the Laboratory to Real-World Application

We support Politecnico di Milano researchers in valorizing their research outcomes by facilitating connections with companies, institutions, and public bodies interested in applying them in real contexts. Through targeted scouting and matchmaking activities, we identify the most suitable partners to test and adopt new technologies, enabling the transfer of scientific results into concrete solutions that benefit the territory.
