The fifth edition of the Startup Marathon, the contest dedicated to startups that every year brings together incubators, accelerators, universities, science and technology parks, along with all the entities committed to supporting entrepreneurial development on a national scale, ended yesterday in Milan, in the setting of the Unicredit Tower Hall. The initiative, promoted by UniCredit, Area Science Park and Fondazione Comunica with UniCreditStartLab and DIGITALmeet, aims to create shared value and foster the growth of the entire innovation ecosystem.
