The innovative ecosystem of Turin continues to grow and establishes itself as one of the leaders in Italy. This is evident not only from the increase in venture capital investments but also from the significant density of scaleups compared to the total number of startups. However, to compete on a global scale, it is essential to look beyond national borders. Comparing with the ecosystems of France and Germany can clarify Italy's positioning and shed light on what our true goals should be. I have prepared a slide that gathers all the key players in the Turin ecosystem. Do you find it useful?
