Publish date

Do you have an ambitious idea and the drive to turn it into reality? With TEF Ignition, the 7-week program promoted by Tech Europe Foundation, students of Politecnico di Milano have the opportunity to move from being students to becoming founders.

The program is open to students who have already completed, or plan to enroll in activities within the Career Service programs Am I an Innovator?” (for bachelor’s students) and I am an Innovator!” (for master’s students). It offers targeted activities designed to develop entrepreneurial skills through training, mentorship, and direct interaction with industry professionals.

What the program offers:

  • a €2,000 grant to develop your project;
  • mentorship from entrepreneurs and innovators;
  • practical resources to grow as a founder;
  • the opportunity to pitch at the Demo Day in front of professionals and investors.

You can apply individually or as part of a team (recommended). For those who do not yet have a co-founder, networking events will be organized in the coming weeks.

Applications are open until March 5, 2026. Places are limited.
