Startup University Academy, launched on May 18th in the Great Hall (Aula Magna), this initiative—promoted by the Lazio Region and Lazio Innova—represents far more than a one-off event; it marks the start of a structured, free program dedicated to innovative entrepreneurship. The program offers two parallel tracks to support growth, depending on the project's stage:

1. Track for Individuals or Teams: Designed for teams not yet formally established (2+ people) or individual innovators looking to validate a project idea. The program roadmap (June–November):
