iNESTImpact for Research-Driven Innovation

What is iNESTImpact?
iNESTImpact is a digital platform designed to foster research-driven innovation. It aims to brings together companies, researchers, and institutions across the Triveneto region, enabling collaboration and the development of projects with real societal and territorial impact.

Through dedicated sections such as LabVillage, Academy for Companies, and the Digital Working Space, the platform offers:

  • Direct access to labs and research projects from participating universities
  • Scouting tools to find partners, opportunities, and calls for projects
  • Tailored training programs for companies, including MOOCs (open online courses) and customised curricula
  • A digital workspace to support collaborative innovation and collective research projects
  • Technology watch services, sectoral conferences, and prospective studies to keep stakeholders up to date and submit their innovation topics to the research
  • Tools to support companies in structuring their innovation roadmap and connecting with relevant research departments for their development

iNESTImpact evolves through multiple phases, integrating advanced features such as artificial intelligence, semantic search engines, and customizable learning paths.
The platform’s architecture is designed to facilitate dynamic collaboration, knowledge transfer, and lifelong learning.

Strategic Pillars

iNESTImpact is built on four strategic axes:

1. Vision of The Future
1. Vision of The Future

We nurture a collective approach to foresight, gathering weak signals from society, companies, and public actors to build shared scenarios and guide future-oriented research to innovation. The Prospective Antenna captures trends and needs, fueling think tanks and collective projects.

2. Sharing for Impact
2. Sharing for Impact

Openness is in our DNA. We unite all innovation stakeholders to co-build ambitious projects, federate companies through CLUBiNEST, and develop “expeditions” to explore new frontiers together.

3. Knowledge Transfer
3. Knowledge Transfer

Lab Villages and the Digital Platform serve as main points of contact between companies and research. We support companies in transforming research into new products, services, and spin-offs, and provide methodologies for effective innovation roadmaps.

4. Learning Transfer
4. Learning Transfer

The Academy for Companies promotes lifelong learning, offering dynamic knowledge, MOOCs, and tailored training to help companies keep up with technological cycles and innovations.

An Ecosystem of Ecosystems

iNESTImpact is more than a platform - it is an ecosystem of ecosystems, connecting research departments, universities, companies, clusters, students, and citizens. The RIS3 based SPOKE approach, as the backbone of the organisation, enables transversal and interdisciplinary cooperation on major research themes, activating synergies and collaborative dynamics across the region.

With iNESTImpact, you do not just access innovation, you help shape its future.
