As the first investor in AC75 Startup Accelerator, it promotes the renewal and growth of the productive system in the Marche region through startups and has always favored startup projects with a focus on benefits for youth employment.
Indeed, the foundation has involved more than 6,500 young people in entrepreneurial training activities and launched more than 150 startups since 2001 through eCapital, the first business plan competition that arose in Italy. Fondazione Marche has also participated from the seed stage in the capital in some of the most successful startups in Italy.
The foundation involved in setting up, supporting and promoting projects of social utility and in the economic development of the geographical areas in which it is active. The challenge the Foundation embraces each and every day is that of “generating change”. This is achieved through emphasising the value of the local area and by giving support to those organisations that by vocation are in contact with men and women of all ages who, to a greater or lesser degree, are in a situation of fragility.
“Fondazione Universitaria per lo Sviluppo Imprenditoriale,” which has Università Politecnica delle Marche as its reference body, operates for the purpose of fostering the cultural, social and economic development of the communities in which the University operates, promoting the development of initiatives to support the transfer of research results to the socio-economic system and the emergence of new entrepreneurship.
