The innovation incubator: six years of achievements

Since 2005, more than 500 foreign students have chosen Lecco campus for their education enrolling to our Master of Science degrees, not to mention exchange and double-degree students. In this context all the international students are involved in the “Incubator of innovation” program created thanks to the collaboration between University, ICE (Istituto Commercio Estero), Unioncamere and the Chambers of Commerce of Lecco and Como, with the purpose of training high-level students with a strong interest in technology and Italian managerial culture. The aims of this paper is to describe and highlight the achievement of five year of international exchange, active since the academic year 2005/2006 at the Politecnico di Milano – Polo Territoriale di Lecco.
