On September 25th at Entopan Innovation, the concluding day of the program born from Spoke 3 of the MUSA ecosystem will take place. The event will focus on emerging entrepreneurial realities, a meeting with investors and stakeholders, and new European and Italian regulations dedicated to startups and scaleups.

The FIRE – From Ideas to Running Enterprise project, developed within Spoke 3 of the MUSA Ecosystem, is entering its final phase with the Demo Day, scheduled for September 25, 2025, at the Entopan Innovation headquarters in Caraffa di Catanzaro (CZ). The initiative marks the culmination of a journey that has supported the creation and development of new entrepreneurial solutions, with a particular focus on Deep Tech companies. The program has guided them from the selection phase to the final presentation of their projects before a qualified audience of investors, companies, and innovation stakeholders.

The project, promoted by Entopan Innovation and Fondazione Links, involved a structured process: team selection, maturity level assessment of the startups, and subsequent division into two different paths—one dedicated to catalog services and the other to an incubation program. This model allowed for personalized and targeted support, maximizing the skills and potential of the participants.

The Demo Day will be a key moment for the startups, who will have the opportunity to present their projects, gain visibility, and build strategic relationships with investors and key players in the innovation ecosystem. It will also be a chance to reflect on the future of the sector, thanks to the involvement of prominent speakers.

Among them is Giorgio Ciron, Director of InnovUp, who will delve into the impact of recent Italian regulations on the world of startups and scaleups. Specifically, the effects of the 2024 Competition Law, the Centemero Bill, and the 2024 Budget Law, known as the ScaleUp Act, which introduce new provisions for innovative startups, funds, and certified incubators and accelerators, will be analyzed.

In addition to the national regulatory framework, the event will also examine the Startup & Scaleup Strategy recently approved by the European Commission, which aims to strengthen the competitiveness of new innovative companies and facilitate their growth on an international scale.
