Mind the Bridge
Boot Camp 2011
This year the MtB Boot Camp, organized by Mind the Bridge Foundation in partnership with Top-IX Consortium, will be held in two of the most active business cities of North Italy, Milan and Turin.
As part of the Social Media Week held in Milan, the special opening of the MtB Boot Camp 2011 in September 22nd aims at gathering innovative startups – operating in the Web/ICT, Life-Science and Clean Tech fields – in one Public Forum that will provide insights regarding key issues facing Italian entrepreneurship. A particular focus will be on business creation and financing, especially in view of today’s post-bubble global economy.
Goal of the Boot Camp program, which will continue in September 23rd and 24th in Turin for the startups selected in the MtB Business Plan Competition, is to help participants in clarifying, creating and communicating their business vision, proprietary science and technology into a viable business plan, worthy of financial support.
Held at OGR – Officine Grandi Riparazioni, a masterpiece of industrial architecture set up to celebrate the 150 years of Italy in the heart of Turin, these two days of intensive, hands-on workshop will be devoted to the 20/25 semifinalist previously selected by our exceptional MtB Selection Committee after screening and evaluating hundreds of Business Plan.

Extraordinary top notch instructors and Silicon Valley mentors will be invited to inspire the startups with evaluable insights and panel discussions.
