A&T Next

A&T Next

The hub for startups and emerging technologies in manufacturing

A&T Next is the dedicated A&T Vicenza initiative for industrial startups. We provide a specialized exhibition area, a curated schedule of pitches and B2B networking, and a direct gateway to the Northeast Italy manufacturing sector—a region actively scouting for innovative solutions to upgrade its production lines.

 

This is not a token presence; it is a proven growth opportunity. Spend three days in Vicenza showcasing your technology to a highly qualified technical audience, connecting with potential clients and partners, and validating your market fit in a real-world industrial environment.

 

 

Showcase your innovation

What’s included

  • Turnkey exhibition space: A fully equipped, branded booth in the A&T Next area, including a monitor and Wi-Fi.
  • Pitch Day: Take the stage to present your solution directly to manufacturers, tech partners, and investors.
  • Meet & Match: Structured B2B meetings with CTOs, R&D leads, and key decision-makers.
  • Mentorship & Networking: Gain expert advice on go-to-market strategies and engage with local industrial leaders through our incubator and accelerator partners.
  • High-impact visibility: Dedicated web presence on the A&T Vicenza site, plus features in our newsletter, social media campaigns, and press releases.
  • Thought leadership: Opportunities to join panel discussions on tech transfer, industrial digitalization, and SME innovation.
