BIGBO, Boost Innovation Garage Bologna, is a project promoted by the Cassa di Risparmio Foundation in Bologna in collaboration with the Techgarage Association. It was born in 2020 in a 1,400 m2 space in Bologna with the aim of encouraging the free circulation of ideas through the contamination of knowledge and experience in the field of digital innovation. BIGBO aims to contribute to the economic and social development of the local area by promoting in particular the growth of young people and the creation of job opportunities by aggregating talents, innovators, and entrepreneurs in a physical location.
It is a community made up of startups who choose to work in the BIGBO spaces and of innovators and professionals who frequent them, it is a place that favors the growth and development of the territory through networking and entrepreneurial contamination events, training and mentoring programs, accelerating startups and open innovation initiatives.
Movantia has been committed to developing BIGBO’s development strategy from June 2021 to the end of 2022, identifying the strategic guidelines (impact, innovation and entrepreneurship) and intersecting them with the excellent supply chains of the city of Bologna and the Emilia Romagna region to generate added value starting from the strengths of the territory itself. We have planned events and organized workshops and meetings with dozens of authoritative guests, leading to a 150% growth in workshops, meetings and seminars in the first 6 months after our arrival. In all of 2022, then, BIGBO hosted 125 days of events (a further +36% compared to 2021), as well as 120 hours of Education provided, 14 Masterclasses, 12 workshops held by the partners of the Expert Desk we created and finally, 100 total hours of mentoring provided.
