In July 2018 more than 500 young startup-minded people from 65 different countries met in Turin, Italy at the 3rd edition of EIA Italy. European Innovation Academy is not just a conference, it’s not a hackathon, it’s not just a summer program. It’s the catalyst for entrepreneurship education, the bridge to the future that next-generation entrepreneurs build. We are proud to present the top teams from the 15-day Extreme Accelerator Program 2018 in Italy.
