The world of research in Italy includes world-class excellence and promotes R&D projects with enormous potential. The system as a whole, however, considerably limits this potential and often inhibits the very birth of projects.
In particular:
- The young talented researchers must face a closed system and, in some cases, characterized by non-meritocratic entry mechanisms;
- There are no economic incentives to reward the best researchers and those who are committed to developing international projects;
- Interaction with the private world is often inhibited by long and almost impossible procedures to be understood by an entrepreneur / investor;
- Despite the system of research spin-offs and university incubators, it remains complicated for good ideas born in the academy to be transformed into market products / services.
Spin System, a non-profit institution under Belgian law, was born to create a platform (real and virtual) of collaboration between researchers, companies, research institutes, and a place of actual incubation for R&D projects at international level.
By joining Spin Systems, researchers and startups will be able to develop projects of their interest or participate in projects promoted by research bodies, companies and other researchers. Above all, Spin System allows researchers to get to know potential sponsors, structured companies that can invest in the development of the project, also thanks to facilitating tools such as the tax credit for R&D activities. This guarantees immediate financeability for projects, which can thus reach a degree of development such as to become interesting for a public contribution, through European programs.
