Fondazione Innovation Bridge · ETS

Technology isn't something that happens to you.
It's something you understand.

We help people, businesses and institutions understand technology and use it to build the future, rather than be shaped by it.

Documentary

Our journey to China becomes a documentary.

Eleven days, four cities, twenty-two people. From Italy to Beijing, Shanghai, Hangzhou and Shenzhen. A delegation from Fondazione Innovation Bridge inside the factories of the future, with institutional meetings with the Italian Ambassador to China Massimo Ambrosetti and the Consul of Shanghai Tiziana D'Angelo. Now that story goes on air.

International missions

We got inside where the future is being built.

Not conferences. Not trade fairs. We met the people who make things happen, in the places where they make them — and we brought our territory along with us.

Who we are

Innovation Bridge is a non-profit foundation (Italian non-profit entity, Terzo Settore).

We bring people, businesses and communities closer to technology and artificial intelligence, turning them into concrete opportunities. We do this every day through open and free events, practical training for companies, and journeys to the places where the future is being built.

In a connected world, geographical boundaries are no longer a limit. Any territory — even one that seems far from the great centres of innovation — can be a protagonist of the technological revolution, not a spectator.
