After spending a full month working on it, our Selection Committee coordinated by Fabrizio Capobianco has finally completed its job. Selecting the best business plans has been quite a challenge, because the number and quality of the proposals we received.
In our selection process we focused on quality, with a particular attention on diversity, including subject matter, geography and gender. We decided to merge the Business Plan Competion and Call for Ideas into a single ranking.
Below, you find the list of the startups admitted to the Mind the Bridge BootCamp (in Varese, from September 23rd through September 25th). It is a 30+ list. During the Bootcamp we will extract the short list of the 15 semi-finalists presenting @ Corriere della Sera in Milan in November.
Congratulations to the selected startups and also to those that did not make it: tune your business plan and do not give up!

It would be nice to write a simple mail to teams who didn't make it to the finals and giving them a comment on where they mainly failed.
E.g.:
- Bad Idea
or
- Good idea but the business plan is bad written/not clear
or
- anything else
Thanks
Ho letto che il Forum Ricerca Innovazione Imprenditorialità e Technology Review Italia hanno organizzato la prima edizione di TR35-Giovani Innovatori (http://www.technologyreview.it/?p=article&a=1676).
Tale progetto, prendendo ispirazione da quanto viene fatto dal MIT ormai da diversi anni, si propone di raccogliere il meglio delle idee innovative e dei progetti di ricerca applicata che resentano potenzialità di creazione di nuove imprese.
Sarebbe un bel modo di fare squadra se si offrisse la possibilità al vincitore di TR35 di partecipare a MtB GYM!
