You have until September 5 to submit your project for StartCup Lombardia 2025.
Two new corporate awards have been added to the 2025 edition of StartCup Lombardia, a business plan competition that is part of Startup Days, an event dedicated to innovation and entrepreneurship scheduled for November 11 and 12 in Milan. This year, the total prize pool increases to €215,000, with €40,000 earmarked for the new awards from Autogrill and Thales Alenia Space.
The Autogrill Award (€20,000) will be given to innovative technological solutions that improve customer experience in retail locations and on the My Autogrill app. Projects based on artificial intelligence, augmented reality, NFTs, geolocation, and gamification systems are particularly sought after, as they can personalize service, increase engagement, and encourage community creation.
The Thales Alenia Space Award (€20,000) is for projects aimed at mitigating interference in GNSS receivers. The goal is to develop innovative techniques—including artificial intelligence applications—to recognize and neutralize disturbances that can compromise the reliability of satellite navigation systems.
StartCup Lombardia continues to strengthen its mission: to help entrepreneurial ideas born in academic settings enter the market, with a special focus on technology, sustainability, and social impact.
Applications are open until September 5, 2025. This is a unique opportunity for startups and researchers who want to turn their ideas into businesses with the support of Lombardy’s innovation ecosystem.
