According to the last report edited by Italia Startup and the Milan “Politecnico,” in Italy, there are about 100 incubators and accelerators that help new innovative companies to start up and develop.
However, the lab that kicks off today – Thursday, March 2 – is a completely different tool. It focuses on students who are still in school or at university. Phyrtual Factory is the first youth pre-accelerator, developed from the Officina - New Jobs Workshop experience.
