Supernova, Creative Innovation Festival, is the innovation and creativity festival promoted by Talent Garden, the network dedicated to freelancers, startups and companies operating in the digital sector. Founded in Brescia in 2012 by Davide Dattoli and Lorenzo Maternini, Talent Garden is now present in 13 Italian and European cities, including Milan, Turin, Padua, Barcelona, Tirana and Kaunas. The annual festival is an important opportunity for startups to get to know and interact with large Italian and international companies.
This year the Supernova calendar is particularly full of appointments: a preview of the innovation festival will be held in Turin on 26 and 27 September, which will continue in Brescia on 2, 3 and 4 October. Going beyond the Italian borders and becoming a truly international event, Supernova will arrive in Kaunas, Lithuania, on 15 October.
The innovation festival will offer conferences, thematic meetings, digital laboratories, workshops, artistic performances, installations and exhibition spaces in the squares and historic centers of the cities. The goal is to align the universe of good ideas and Italian startups with the large companies that make up the country's productive fabric. A meeting of mutual exchange that already last year generated interesting synergies and common projects.
Marco Bonometti, president of the Brescian Industrial Association comments on the event: “Supernova is a driving force of ideas, a collector of proposals and a cultural vehicle. Also this year Associazione Industriale Bresciana has adhered with conviction to this second edition of the innovation festival: in fact, we believe that research and innovation are the fundamental priorities for qualifying the country's industrial policy and making businesses grow. This is why we need to value innovative experiences, but first of all we need to discover them, make them emerge and therefore support them. The great changes imposed by globalization impose a new way of doing business that can only be tackled with innovation”.
