Mind the Bridge has been running a non-profit foundation since 2007. It was established by Marco Marinucci with the support of a group of entrepreneurs passionate about entrepreneurship education.
Mind the Bridge was established in 2007 by then Googler, Marco Marinucci. Marco now serves as the company’s CEO with Italian university Professor Alberto Onetti as its chairman.
The Scaleup Summits are highly curated, invitation only, matching activities hosted by the most prestigious Stock Exchanges where international corporates, investors and scaleups operating in specific verticals can do business and spot technology trends.
Collaboration between corporates and startups, if done right, can bring tremendous benefit to both. Startups can access invaluable resources and market insight which can help them scale, whilst for established companies, such collaborations offer an important mode of innovation – as well as subtler benefits like cultural change.
