Hard times do not stem innovation momentum, they rather power it up. This is one of the beliefs behind the third B4i - Bocconi for Innovation Startup Call, aimed at supporting new entrepreneurial ideas in startups. A concrete strategy to foster the most innovative projects, the quality and strength of the teams that manage them and their ability to match market needs in the three areas of Digital Tech, Made in Italy and Sustainability, coordinated by Massimo Della Ragione, Gabriella Lojacono and Stefano Pogutz, respectively.

Selected startups will receive a 30,000 euro investment each, a four-month acceleration journey including access to a network of services such as legal, accounting, digital marketing and communication packages, as well as sessions with experts and professionals ā€“ Bocconi professors and alumni from various regions and industries, entrepreneurs, investors and corporate C-level executives. B4i will also provide selected startups with commercial networks and B2B sales channels as well as low-cost database, cloud and CRM services.
